Celebrating Team Canada at the Migrating
Landscapes official opening
For the first time the RAIC Foundation presented its College of Fellows Centennial
Fund for Intern/Intern Architects to Team Canada, 13 young intern/intern architects
members of the Migrating Landscapes team. The Migrating Landscapes team
members were chosen by a jury from regional exhibitions and the 13 young intern/
intern architects made up part of Canada’s official entry at the 2012 Venice Biennale
in Architecture.
The jury commented:
“We were impressed with the achievements of each of the 13 individuals forming Team
Canada, who have already made significant contributions to the profession, which have
been recognized by various awards, publications and exhibitions of their work. Some of
them are also involved in teaching and lecturing.”
