A heartfelt congratulations to Cam Penney, Intern Architect at Moriyama Teshima Architects, whose thesis project entitled “Toronto’s Terrestrial Reefs” won the 2023 Canadian Architect Student Award of Excellence!

Cameron, a Masters graduate of the Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism at Carleton University, conducted interviews with interdisciplinary researchers, explored new areas of material analysis, and pushed boundaries of infrastructure and urban design. The study ingeniously tackles the intersection of architecture and environmental sustainability, as Cameron reimagines urban landscapes with an innovative and eco-conscious approach.
