Location

Montreal Design Centre

Dusk inhabits the Montreal Design Centre, a brutalist landmark in Old Montreal. Concrete, glass, and measured light make it the ideal canvas for Swiss-inspired layouts, installations, and day-to-night programming.

Venue

A campus designed for focus

The centre spans three connected wings. Each is scaled for different cadences—from keynote theatre to intimate critiques. Expect thoughtful signage, quiet lounges, and generous circulation to keep every session punctual.

Helvetica Hall

Main stage for keynotes and evening salons. Seating for 600 with theatre-grade acoustics, dual projection, and real-time captioning in English and French.

Modulor Studio

Hands-on workshop floor with modular stations, tactile prototyping materials, and dedicated critique walls sized for Swiss poster formats.

Ratio Lab

Residency wing for teams. Includes private breakout rooms, A/V-equipped boardrooms, and a materials library curated by Gridline Labs.
