Canadian Architect magazine is proud to announce the winners of its 2019 Awards of Excellence. The annual awards honour design excellence for projects in the design and construction phases, as well as graduating student work.
The projects must be completed by architects residing in Canada, or by graduates of Canadian architecture schools living either in Canada or abroad. Awards are given for architectural design excellence. Jurors will consider the scheme?s response to the client?s program, site, geographic and/or urban context. They will evaluate its physical organization, form, composition, building systems, concept, process, structure, materials, environmental features and/or demonstration of social awareness.
This year’s program also included an architectural photography award. The jury included Rami Bebawi of KANVA, Joe Lobko of DTAH and Cindy Wilson of LWPAC/Intelligent City. Photographer Ema Peter was an additional member of the jury for the photo awards only.
