On Monday, UBC SALA celebrates Jane Wolff, recipie

On Monday, UBC SALA celebrates Jane Wolff, recipient of the 2022 Margolese National Design for Living Prize. The Saint Louis raised, Toronto-based landscape designer and scholar uses public engagement, writing, and drawing to help disparate communities make sense of the natural and human-made environment.

One of the highest design accolades in Canada, the annual $50,000 Margolese Prize spotlights a Canadian citizen who uses design to encourage a greater understanding of the built environment. “Jane Wolff enriches places and elevates the lives of people through design,” says UBC SALA Director Ron Kellett. “Her innovative methods address the intersections of built and natural environments, in a creatively accessible way.”

The Margolese Prize will be celebrated with a public presentation and panel discussion at the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre on UBC campus.

MARGOLESE PRIZE CELEBRATION

MON OCT 3 | 6:00pm PT
Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre
