McGill also won two of the four Special Mentions: Rêves Souterrains – Sunken Dreamlands (Naomi Hébert, Ji Won Jun and Sara-Jeanne Dagenais) and Immortal Citizen (Julia Chang, Jennifer Lai, Meng Nan Zhang, Patrick Zhang and Gary Lin).

The 18th Interuniversity Charrette Transmutation invited young designers to question the future of the city in the age of information technologies. Transmutation encouraged the production of new modes of representation of Montreal and the city’s ability to transform according to economic transactions, social distributions, and political actions.

The Charrette was organized by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) and McGill University (Prof. Aaron Sprecher), in collaboration with Université de Montréal, Université du Québec à Montréal, and with the participation of Université Laval, Carleton University, Ryerson University and University of Toronto.

Full details on the charrette and the prize-winning submissions can be viewed on the CCA website.
