The Ring, Public sculpture at Place Ville Marie, Canada
The Ring, a stainless steel structure measuring 30 meters in diameter, floats above the entrance of Place Ville Marie in downtown Montreal.
The installation completed in September 2022 marked the final phase of a 200-million-dollar revitalization project for Montreal's central business district.
This steel circle creates a visual connection between McGill University, Victoria Hospital, Mount Royal, and its illuminated cross, linking Montreal's educational and medical heritage.
The Ring remains accessible at all times through the Ville-Marie borough, offering various angles for photography against the city skyline and mountain backdrop.
Twenty specialized workers spent two years crafting the 23,000-kilogram structure, which required custom welding masks to construct its fifteen internal segments.
