It is a great pleasure to announce that John Quale and the ecoMOD Project has received two significant awards recently:
The first is the Collaborative Practice Award from the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. Criteria:
This ACSA award recognizes programs that demonstrate how faculty, students, and community/civic clients work to realize common objectives. Participation by professional practitioners and colleagues from other academic disciplines is encouraged. Architecture, Landscape, Interior, Planning, Industrial, Urban Collaborative projects and practice can encompass a variety of endeavors, including but not limited to: design/build, new construction, rehabilitation, open space planning, zoning and regulatory reform, and the development of new institutions or social processes.
The second is one of three Education Honor Awards from the American Institute of Architects. Criteria:
The awards jury will seek evidence of exceptional and innovative courses, initiatives, or programs that:
- deal with broad issues, particularly in cross-disciplinary collaboration and/or within the broader community;
- contribute to the advancement of architecture education;
- have the potential to benefit and/or change practice; and/or
- promote models of excellence that can be appropriated by other educators.
Both awards will be presented at next month’s ACSA Convention in Philadelphia.
Congratulations John and all of the students whose commitment has made this recognition possible.
