The Touage Camp "Tow” dates back to the time when the mouth of the Saguenay River, formed by the islands of Lac Saint Jean, was used as a towing station for logs. Hence, the pier – an emblematic structure formerly used for moving logs - forms the backbone of the project. A common feature that links history with creating a springboard for the new resort vocation of the Camp-de-Touage sector of Pointe-Taillon National Park in Quebec (Canada). The architects themselves said it: "We have a huge responsibility when it comes to building on the natural environment.” The Camp-de-Touage Service Center thus combines a poetic and coherent architectural resolution with its natural environment.
