Cam Patterson of Stantec Consulting won the Award of Excellence for Landscape Architecture for his Market Square project at this year's Design Week Awards in Saskatoon. The Design Council of Saskatchewan (DCS) held its biennial Design Week Awards ceremony in Saskatoon last month. For more than a decade, the event has served to educate the public through lectures, tours, open houses, and symposiums, while providing a competition for local projects.
Winners of the 2009 Design Week include: "It's nice to have such an exciting event and to be promoting design somewhere that's seeing a lot of change," Rebecca Stewart, IDT, IDAS, told Construction Canada Online. An interior design technologist for Stantec Architecture & Interior Design Ltd., and a Design Week organizer, Stewart believes the awards speak to the quality of the work in the province. "There were more entries submitted this year than any of the previous ones; there is a great degree of high quality work going on," she explained. "It's also nice to see everybody getting excited about that and wanting to be involved, wanting to be a part of it, wanting to win, and most of all, wanting to go forward and do better work." This year's event was held in conjunction with the Build Saskatchewan Green Conference (organized by the Saskatchewan Chapter of the Canada Green Building Council [CaGBC]).
