Eby, who graduated from the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape &amp; Design’s master of architecture program in 2019, follows <strong>Kinan Hewitt</strong>, who graduated in 2018, and <strong>David Verbeek</strong>, who graduated in 2017.</p> <p>Eby “balances a deep curiosity for the economies that contribute to architecture and urbanism with a provocative and tangible design sensibility," says her thesis advisor, Assistant Professor <strong>Michael Piper</strong>.</p> <p>Once travel restrictions are lifted, Eby plans to use her new funding on research trips to Australia, Germany and Austria to visit and document examples of collective and non-profit housing developments.</p> <p>"My research is looking for unrealized opportunities in Canada for new forms of housing that are outside the current practices of financing and site development," she says. "I'm looking at questions of how housing in Canada can be more than just a commodity, and how, by using communal financing and development practices, we can make multi-unit housing more accessible, sustainable, and desirable."</p> <h3><a href="https://www.daniels.utoronto.ca/news/2021/05/14/samantha-eby-receives-prix-de-rome-architecture-emerging-practitioners">Read the Daniels Faculty story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">John H.

Ripstein was recognized for his contributions to humanities and Stephan for his contributions to natural sciences.</p> <p>A fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and author of several influential books, Ripstein joined the University of Toronto’s department of philosophy in the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science 1987 and was jointly appointed to the Faculty of Law in 1999. He delivered the 2019 Tanner Lectures at UC Berkeley, one of the most prestigious lecture series in philosophy.</p> <p>Stephan is the recipient of the 2019 John C. Polanyi Award, the 2019 E.W.R. Steacie Award, a 2020 Guggenheim Fellowship, and a 2009 Killam Research Fellowship. He joined the department of chemistry in the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science in 2008 as a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair after 25 years as a faculty member at the University of Windsor.</p> <p>“The Killam Prize is an important recognition for these extraordinary University Professors whose research continues to make a profound impact on their fields, said University Professor <strong>Ted Sargent,</strong> vice-president, research and innovation and strategic initiatives. “One of the world’s leading legal and political philosophers, Arthur Ripstein is renowned for his scholarship in the history of philosophy, theories of justice, tort law and the law of war. Douglas Stephan’s game-changing discovery of a new class of catalysts led to the production of more sustainable plastics – and he continues to explore how chemistry can address such challenges as greenhouse gas remediation and energy efficient catalysis.</p> <p>“The University of Toronto congratulates University Professors Stephan and Ripstein and thanks the Canada Council and the Killam Trusts for their support of our outstanding scholars.”&nbsp;</p> <h3><a href="/celebrates/arthur-ripstein-receives-killam-prize-humanities">Read more about Ripstein</a>&nbsp;</h3> <h3><a href="/celebrates/douglas-stephan-receives-killam-prize-natural-sciences">Read more about Stephan</a>&nbsp;<br> &nbsp;</h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 03 Feb 2021 17:54:04 +0000 lanthierj 168224 at
