In his own way, the former professor at the School of Architecture at Laval University has contributed to the beautification of the capital. We owe him, among others, Le Diamant, La Bordée, Le Périscope, the Raoul-Jobin room of the Palais Montcalm, the Caserne Dalhousie and the Maison de la littéraire. He was also the designer of the Moulin de Portage theatre, in Lotbinière, and the Regional Museum of Rimouski, not to mention the venue for the dissemination of circus arts, La Tohu, in Montreal.
