Northern Lights up the Prix de Rome ::

Congratulations! to Jack and Tony at Kobayashi + Zedda Architects Ltd. (Whitehorse, YT) for winning the Professional Prix de Rome in Architecture for 2006.
The award is given annually to “…a young architect or practitioner of architecture, an architecture firm or an architectural design firm that has completed its first buildings and demonstrated exceptional artistic potential.”
Their plans to travel to the circumpolar regions of the north including Iceland, Greenland, Russia, Norway and Finland will allow them to observe architectural design which share similar geographic and climatic conditions to that of Northern Canada.
Jack and Tony are thoughtful young architects with an unparalleled architectural vision which combines a strong modern silhouette with subtle references to traditional First Nations vernacular. Architecturally their attention to detail, sustainable design and their bold use of colour aim to compliment and engage their unique building environment.
