For SOPREMA, it’s important to encourage young architects. According to Guillermo: “They are the professionals of tomorrow, creating buildings in a way that is unknown to us; they must be encouraged and supported. The students of today are researching new methods and ideas that will shape the buildings of the future. Innovation is key for the success of future construction. But they must find the balance between profit and building responsibly.” The winning student, Raphael Kay, had this to say at the event: “Thanks to SOPREMA for this award. I think we need more instances where building technology leaders can interact with upcoming architects and designers. This relationship will help bridge the gap that can cost us in time, money, energy, and unwanted emissions.” Over a dozen donors, along with students from John H. Daniels’ undergraduate and graduate programs, attended the student awards breakfast. Every year, SOPREMA is proud to value education and to highlight students’ excellence and self-actualization. *The University of Toronto consistently ranks among the world’s best universities and among the top 10 public universities worldwide.
