Guadalajara, Mexico, November 1999


The Hospicio Cabanas in Guadalajara, November 1999. Built at the beginning of the 19th Century to care for the city's disadvantaged, this unique complex combines open and closed spaces, as well as a remarkably simple design for its large size. The chapel contains murals by José Clemente Orozco, one of the greatest muralists of his time.

Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church, Quebec City, July 2011






Exterior and interior views of the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Québec, in the Saint-Jean-Baptiste neighborhood of Quebec City.

A large fire in June 1881 destroyed the Faubourg Saint-Jean and its church that had stood on the grounds in this neighborhood of the Haute-Ville. The new, larger church that was built to replace it was inspired by the Trinité de Paris, while retaining a typically Québécois aspect. It was designated a historical monument by the province in 1990.
