Above: Axonometric drawing of the canal system eminating from the Lachine Canal and coursing through the site. There are four drawings in total, scale 1:250; one for each of the four different phases of canal construction at the Pont-des-Seigneur & Ecluses Saint-Gabriel. Next I layer the drawings one ontop of the other to make a fifth drawing of the canal system, one which collapses all of the canal systems into one system. The drawing, like the landscape, becomes a palimpsest. The drawings demonstrate the volume of the canal, and gives a offers glimpses of the shape of the landscape above it. The drawing also becomes the basis for making a model of the canal system. This, I plan to make in such a way that I can recreated the flow of water through the site.
