The Steel Structures Education Foundation (SSEF) held it's annual Design Competition and Waterloo Architecture students dominated! This year's theme was 'recycle - recycler' :
Former Waterloo Architecture students Beth Nenniger and Laura Austin have sold their first company, DraftingSPACE, to Vancouver-based BuildDirect.
DraftingSPACE enables homeowners to design their own renovation projects. BuildDirect has an wide-reaching distribution network for renovation materials. It’s the perfect partnership and we are super excited to have been offered a seat on BuildDirect’s rocketship.
Waterloo Architecture graduate Chanel Dehond has won an award for her project The Lost Day Spa in the Student Project category of the 11th annual HD Awards.
Waterloo Architecture would like to congratulate M.Arch candidate Tristan van Leur, the 2015 recipient of the Michael Evamy Scholarship.
Instead of trying to convince people to put their devices away, Tristan's thesis entitled Spacebook will examine ways to empower public spaces through mobile devices.
Congratulations Tristan!
