Created after a significant financial contribution made by the Fayolle Canada Group, the Chair explores architectural design and the use of innovative technologies to create a resilient and sustainable built environment. Its projects examine the processes, performance, and ethics of architecture projects, highlighting the best approaches and interventions in Canada. The Chair facilitates collaboration between various stakeholders in the construction field. It benefits from a global network of partners brought together by Professor Lizarralde in recent years. The Chair is also engaged with the Montréal and Québec community, and is active among scientific, professional, governmental, and community networks.
