Waugh drew inspiration for the design from a traditional winter wigwam and longhouse, and also took into account suggestions of local Indigenous communities, elders and knowledge keepers.</p> <p><strong>Claire Weisz</strong>, a juror for the award, says the committee looked at many projects designed to serve Indigenous people. “Finding an appropriate and functional architectural expression was not always successful,” Weisz said. “In this case, it is: a new form of architecture consciously emerges from the landscape and looks to Indigenous precedents.”</p> <h3><a href="https://utsc.utoronto.ca/news-events/daily-update/indigenous-house-receives-national-architectural-award-merit">Read the łÔąĎ±¬ÁĎ Scarborough story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTSC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 27 Mar 2024 17:03:52 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 307078 at Marc Couture wins 2024 Clean16 Award /celebrates/marc-couture-wins-2024-clean16-award <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Marc Couture wins 2024 Clean16 Award</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/community" hreflang="en">Community</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2023-10-17T08:45:28-04:00" title="Tuesday, October 17, 2023 - 08:45" class="datetime">Tue, 10/17/2023 - 08:45</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/staff" hreflang="en">Staff</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/clean16" hreflang="en">Clean16</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/clean50" hreflang="en">Clean50</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/2023-10/Marc-Couture-crop.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="&quot;&quot;"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><em>Marc Couture (supplied image)</em></p> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><b>Marc Couture</b>, director, sustainability and energy management, at the University of Toronto’s Sustainability Office, is one of <a href="https://clean50.com/honourees/marc-couture-p-eng/">Canada’s Clean16 Award recipients</a> and <a href="https://clean50.com/">a Clean50 honouree</a>.</p> <p>For more than a decade, the Clean50 Awards have recognized 50 Canadian sustainability leaders who facilitate understanding, collaboration and innovation in the fight to limit global warming to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels.

This has resulted in energy and carbon designs that have already helped łÔąĎ±¬ÁĎ avoid an incremental 8,500 tonnes of carbon annually.</p> <h4><a href="https://clean50.com/about/">Read more about the Clean50 Awards</a></h4> <h4><a href="https://climatepositive.utoronto.ca/">Read more about the climate positive campus strategy&nbsp;</a></h4> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Tue, 17 Oct 2023 12:45:28 +0000 lanthierj 303742 at Mark Bennett awarded first TDC Ezhishin Scholarship  /celebrates/mark-bennett-awarded-first-tdc-ezhishin-scholarship <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Mark Bennett awarded first TDC Ezhishin Scholarship&nbsp;</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/community" hreflang="en">Community</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2023-09-27T12:25:38-04:00" title="Wednesday, September 27, 2023 - 12:25" class="datetime">Wed, 09/27/2023 - 12:25</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/students" hreflang="en">Students</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/staff" hreflang="en">Staff</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/temerty-faculty-medicine" hreflang="en">Temerty Faculty of Medicine</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/2023-09/_RB36395-crop.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="&quot;&quot;"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><em>From left: Mark Bennett with Douglas Davis, chair of the scholarship committee </em><em>(photo by Randall<b>&nbsp;</b>Bellows)</em></p> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><strong>Mark Bennett</strong>, a graphic designer in the University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s office of communications, has received the inaugural Type Directors Club (TDC) Ezhishin Scholarship.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Named after the Ojibwe word for “s/he leaves a mark,” the annual $5,000 scholarship was established by the TDC and Google and recognizes “First Nation and Native American people in Canada and the U.S. who exemplify a creative practice that explores typography, type design or relevant linguistic work.”</p> <p>The designer/art director for Temerty Medicine’s <a href="https://uoftmedmagazine.utoronto.ca/2023-summer/">award-winning alumni magazine, <em>UofTMed</em></a>, Bennett is also a part-time architectural studies student at łÔąĎ±¬ÁĎ's John H.
