Collaborative effort by Professor Bhatia receives ASCA Faculty Design Award

Wortham Fellow, Neeraj Bhatia and his Infranet partners Lola Sheppard (University of Waterloo), Mason White (University of Toronto), and Maya Przybylski (University of Waterloo) were honored with a 2011-12 ACSA Faculty Design Award for Next North: Architecture in Shifting Terrain. Juror comments state, “This activated multimedia research project results in an immersive installation that oscillates between design research as speculative building and design research as informed graphic presentation. …. Couched as spheres of ecological drift, the installation and its exhibited projects challenge the very nature of the necessity of static architectural approaches while exploring the ever-shifting terrains of Canada’s northern territory.”
