Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, has received the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Gold Medal in recognition of her significant and lasting contributions to architecture in Canada.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lemco van Ginkel, who became dean in 1977, is believed to be first woman to have led a school of architecture in North America. She taught at the Daniels Faculty until 1993.</p> <p>Her notable achievements as an architect include studies of Old Montreal that helped preserve the city’s historic core amid highway construction, a design for Bowring Park in St. John’s, and a preliminary plan for Expo 67.</p> <p>The award jury wrote that Lemco van Ginkel “has had a profound influence on architectural thinking, education and practice. She has been an inspiration to generations of architects, and has consistently furthered the architectural and planning discourse through publication and practice.”</p> <p>In 2015, the Daniels Faculty established the Professor Blanche Lemco van Ginkel Admission Scholarship, in recognition of her achievements and leadership.</p> <h3><a href="https://www.daniels.utoronto.ca/news/2020/04/02/blanche-lemco-van-ginkel-named-recipient-years-raic-gold-medal">Read more about Lemco van Ginkel</a></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> Thu, 21 May 2020 14:47:41 +0000 lanthierj 164620 at Richard Sommer Receives Distinguished Professor Award /celebrates/richard-sommer-receives-distinguished-professor-award <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Richard Sommer Receives Distinguished Professor Award</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/research-innovation" hreflang="en">Research &amp; Innovation</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/teaching" hreflang="en">Teaching</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>s.anderson</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2020-02-26T08:23:35-05:00" title="Wednesday, February 26, 2020 - 08:23" class="datetime">Wed, 02/26/2020 - 08:23</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/faculty" hreflang="en">Faculty</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/john-h-daniels-faculty-architecture" hreflang="en">John H.
