This paper proposes the artwork as an exploratory tool and means of expression for revealing the nature of a place permitting the enrichment of the project development process in urban design. We represent two sites in Montreal. The first is the old Craig pumping station. This project proposes a series of paintings integrate photo, drawing and oil pastels. These explorations hope to articulate, in concrete form, evocative figures of the true nature of the chosen sites. For the second site we explore the area of Mill street, integrating diverse sensorial experiences through an installation. The project brings out different aspects of the site, its specific ambiances. The work confronts us with a typical industrial site within a new reality; situated between space, historicity and sonority. The objective here is to unveil the sense of place and its potential through a multisensory approach.
