RAIC President’s Award for Media in Architecture: Alex Bozikovic
Alex Bozikovic
Alex Bozikovic is the architecture critic for The Globe and Mail. In his columns, he mixes reporting and critical analysis to reveal what is happening in the built environment, and to advocate for better buildings and better cities. He aims to explain the state of Canadian architecture to a general audience, and to show how architecture shapes all of our daily lives.
His work in 2017 and 2018 spans six provinces and a range of architectural projects, from houses to public buildings and urban design. As a writer, he pays attention to the forces that shape architecture including aesthetic and technical dimensions, as well as political and social contexts.
In a column on the National Arts Centre?s renovation and expansion, Bozikovic took a respectful but critical look at the new work by Diamond Schmitt Architects. The challenge of updating a Brutalist cultural building is complex; and, as he argues, the ?breathtakingly radical? original building by Affleck Desbarats deserves careful consideration in its own right. In another column on Montreal?s new CHUM, he explored some of the specific design issues in hospitals today, as well as the challenges of the P3 procurement system. Bozikovic?s columns for the Globe and Mail include critical, but respectful looks at the expanded National Arts Centre in Ottawa and the CHUM in Montreal.
Bozikovic has also tackled the advent of tall wood, through discussing some of the issues regarding sustainability and constructability,...
