JURY COMMENT
Tristan’s thesis project is thoughtful in re-envisioning the role of schools, specifically how schools within the Toronto School District can become urban ecology hubs. This project looks at architects and architecture as change agents by integrating a meaningful ecological curriculum alongside places and spaces that students can explore and learn. Tristan’s work can be embraced and replicated by other urban school districts. The act of engagement by the student body is excellent and serves as a reminder how we can all play a role in needed change.
