Monument National de Holocauste – Ottawa
Victorian Thibault-Malo
« Je me souviens particulièrement d’avoir visité le Monument national de l’Holocauste situé à Ottawa. Pour moi, il s’agit d’un lieu qui reflète la qualité, puisqu’en plus d’être accessible à tous, il permet d’entretenir une réflexion avec le monde qui nous entoure. Dans ce lieu, les valeurs, le narratif et le construit entrent en relation avec l’usager dans le but de le faire réfléchir et/ou de le sensibiliser à un moment important de l’Histoire. En d’autres termes, l’architecture agit donc ici comme un vecteur d’éducation.
L’architecture agit également comme un élément identitaire, où les personnes qui ont un lien étroit avec l’Holocauste peuvent venir s’y recueillir. Leur présence est reconnue par le marquage direct du territoire, alors qu’ils ont précédemment subi les foudres d’un génocide tentant de les éradiquer.
Le designer se doit donc s’éduquer et être à l’écoute de la communauté pour laquelle il construit dans le but de traduire le message en langage de design de manière la plus authentique possible. C’est son travail qui marquera les générations futures et qui permettra la diffusion du passé vers l’avenir.
En entrant dans cet espace, j’ai été marqué par la froideur des lieux. L’utilisation du béton en est probablement la cause, mais l’ambiance a tout de suite guidé le rythme de mes pas, qui ont ralenti dès le passage du seuil du monument. Les autres gens présents montraient des signes de respect, comme le fait de retirer leurs chapeaux et de chuchoter, alors qu’il s’agit d’un lieu extérieur. La lourdeur du sujet était irrémédiablement perçue. Plusieurs espaces de retraits nous permettaient de prendre le temps de nous asseoir, de réfléchir, d’apprécier l’architecture et de commémorer les trop nombreuses victimes de l’Holocauste.
Il s’agit d’un lieu qui m’a profondément touché et qui restera gravé dans ma mémoire, comme il grave désormais le territoire canadien. » (Livret Expériences Vécues Positives de la Qualité dans l’Environnement Bâti 2023, p.81).

National Holocaust Monument – Ottawa
Victorian Thibault-Malo
« I particularly remember visiting the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa. For me, this is a place that reflects quality, as it is not only accessible to all, but also allows for reflection on the world around us. In this place, the values, the narrative and the constructed enter in relation with the user with the aim of making him reflect and/or to sensitize him to an important moment of the History. In other words, architecture acts here as a vector of education.
The architecture also acts as an element of identity, where people who have a close connection to the Holocaust can come and worship. Their presence is recognized by the direct marking of the territory, while they previously suffered the wrath of a genocide trying to eradicate them.
The designer must therefore educate himself and listen to the community he is building for in order to translate the message into design language in the most authentic way possible. It is his work that will mark future generations and allow the diffusion of the past to the future.
As I entered this space, I was struck by the coldness of the place. The use of concrete is probably the cause, but the atmosphere immediately guided the rhythm of my steps, which slowed down as soon as I crossed the threshold of the monument. The other people present showed signs of respect, such as removing their hats and whispering, even though this is an outdoor venue. The heaviness of the subject was irremediably perceived. There were several recesses that allowed us to take time to sit, reflect, appreciate the architecture and commemorate the too many victims of the Holocaust.
It is a place that touched me deeply and that will remain engraved in my memory, as it now engraves the Canadian territory. » (Booklet Positive Lived Experiences of Quality in the Built Environment 2023, p.82).
