M.Arch. student Alexandre Rossignol wins CaGBC scholarship

M.Arch. (professional) student Alexandre Rossignol is the 2019 recipient of the RAIC (Royal Architectural Institute of Canada) Foundation’s CaGBC Scholarship. This $5,000 scholarship was established through an endowment from the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) to promote and encourage sustainable research and design in Canadian schools of architecture and nurture the next generation of green designers.  Rossignol commented, “…the financial support of the council will give me great flexibility in executing necessary research over the next several months.  With this, I hope to fulfill my engagement to myself, to my program and school, and the RAIC.”  The jury noted that “the project rightly puts humans at the centre of the solution to climate change, and its emphasis on traditional, locally-based approaches to construction gives it great social value as well.  The project will give the CaGBC a great return on its investment.”
