On October 22, 2021, join @ubcsala and @margoleseprize for the official 2021 Margolese Prize, a presentation of Nina-Marie Lister's work, and a panel discussion with distinguished design professionals and academics: Jill Anholt, Julia Czerniak, Kees Lokman and Mary Rowe. ⁠
⁠
Established through an estate gift to UBC by the late Leonard Herbert Margolese, the annual prize recognizes an inspirational Canadian citizen who engages in design aimed at improving the built environment. Relaunched in 2021 after a three-year hiatus, the prize was reprogrammed by the school to emphasize that in addition to aesthetics, design needs to enhance social, cultural, and ecological well-being.⁠

📢 IN THE NEWS: Congratulations to Nina-Marie Li

📢 IN THE NEWS: Congratulations to Nina-Marie Lister, recipient of the 2021 Margolese National Design for Living Prize, announced late last month by the University of British Columbia School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. ⁠
⁠
"Nina-Marie Lister is Professor and Graduate Director at the School of Urban and Regional Planning at Ryerson University (renaming in process), where she founded the Ecological Design Lab, Canada’s first hands-on community-based research incubator focused on applied urban ecology and design. Through the lab, funded by national research and foundation grants, Lister engages, trains, and supports students working directly with professionals and communities to advance research and develop tangible solutions to complex, transdisciplinary problems such as climate resilience, urban biodiversity, and human wellbeing.⁠
⁠
She is also the founding principal of PLANDFORM, which engages a wide range of practitioners including ecologists, artists, landscape architects, engineers, and planners in collaborative projects aimed at transforming the way communities think about and interact with natural and built environments."[1]⁠
