She is also an Associate Professor at the School of Architecture at the Université de Montréal, where she served as Director between 2007 and 2015. Anne?s research has led to roles with the World Design Summit, and the Laboratoire d’étude de l’architecture potentielle (LEAP).
“When Randy Cohen, Howard Davies and myself founded our firm, Atelier Big City, we adopted the motto Make Architecture a Public Policy,” Anne said. “We firmly believed then that Architecture has a major role to play in the quality of everyday life.
