| |  | | Thom Mayne | | Pritzker Prize–winning architect Thom Mayne is founding principal of Morphosis, a global architecture firm engaged in architecture, urban planning and research since 1972. Based in Los Angeles, New York, and Shanghai, Morphosis’ work represents a wide variety of scales and typologies, from schools and museums to city planning. Its internationally renowned works include 41 Cooper Square at New York’s Cooper Union and Emerson College in Los Angeles; and the firm is currently working with Teeple Architects on the Creative City Campus revitalization project at OCAD University in Toronto. Mayne also teaches at UCLA and this year returns as distinguished faculty to SCI-Arc, the groundbreaking school he co-founded contemporaneously with his firm. |  | | Matt Carr | | Since 2001, Matt Carr has played an integral part in the Umbra design team, where he serves as VP of Design. Balancing pragmatism and imagination, he has contributed over 100 designs – including the Postino mailbox, Hub ladder and Rolly furniture collection – to the Canadian manufacturer’s product line. In his role overseeing a global design department, Carr also collaborates with top international design talent to evolve the brand’s promise of creating familiar, functional and forward-thinking homewares. |  | | Pat Hanson | | Architect Pat Hanson is a founding partner of gh3*. Under her leadership, the Toronto firm has established a reputation for design integrity across a range of building typologies and scales, and for creating meaningful connections between architecture and landscape within the urban realm. The firm has designed the June Callwood Park in Toronto, the Trinity College Quadrangle at the University of Toronto, and the Governor General's Medal-awarded projects Borden Park Pavilion in Edmonton and the Boathouse Studio on Stoney Lake, Ontario. In 2016, Hanson was recognized by the international arcVision Prize for Women and Architecture. |  | | Johnson Chou | | Johnson Chou is a Toronto designer with a passion for instilling narrative and metaphor into his work, which includes award-winning interiors for Red Bull Canada, Grip Limited, Mosaic Chicago, Sixty Colborne Presentation Centre and Global Furniture Group and furniture collections for Nienkämper. Founded in 2001, his eponymous studio is an internationally recognized interdisciplinary practice encompassing architecture and interiors, furniture and strategic branding. It endeavours to create spaces that are both experiential and immersive “portraits” of their clients. |  | | Stefano Pujatti | | Stefano Pujatti is director of Elasticospa, an architecture studio with offices in Italy and Canada. Elasticospa conceives each of its projects as a means to influence and revive their particular contexts, in order to strengthen their positive and peculiar features. Its expressive buildings, which include 1301INN, the Flying Stoned residence and the Holy House – all three of which have been nominated for Mies van der Rohe Awards for European Architecture – are driven by a scientific investigation into climactic, tidal, seismic and other environmental factors. |
