Call for Submissions: Vince Catalli Grant for Sustainable Architecture Innovation

Open to students at all accredited schools of architecture, this grant will be awarded to a completed design or research project that is scalable, transferable, and has potential for commercialization. The Vince Catalli Fund was established in 2020 with a $120,000 donation from Vince Catalli, aiming to promote and support innovative, practically scalable, and transferable approaches to sustainable design among the next generation of architects in Canada.

One grant of $5,000 will be awarded each year. The grant will be presented to the recipient at the RAIC annual conference. Travel expenses and one night’s hotel accommodation for the recipient will also be covered by the fund.
