In May 2021, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) launched an architectural design competition to redevelop Block 2, the city block immediately south of Parliament Hill in downtown Ottawa. The renewal of Block 2 is a critical piece of PSPC’s Long Term Vision and Plan (LTVP) for the Parliamentary Precinct.
The design competition was concluded in May 2022. Minister Filomena Tassi announced that Zeidler Architecture Inc. (Toronto, Canada) in association with David Chipperfield Architects (London, United Kingdom) was selected as the winning team in the architectural design competition for the redevelopment of Block 2.
An independent jury examined and evaluated the design concepts submitted during the design competition. The jury produced a formal report after the design competition. The report:
- presents the jury members
- explains the way the jury did its work
- describes how the jury made its recommendations
- describes the discussions the jury had about each proposal
