Announcing the 2021 Margolese Prize Recipient: Nina-Marie Lister

The University of British Columbia School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture is thrilled to announce Nina-Marie Lister as the recipient of the 2021 Margolese National Design for Living Prize.

Established through an estate gift to UBC by Leonard Herbert Margolese, the annual prize recognizes an inspirational Canadian citizen who engages in design aimed at improving the built environment. Relaunched in 2021 after a three-year hiatus, the prize was reprogrammed by the school to emphasize that in addition to aesthetics, design needs to enhance social, cultural and ecological well-being.
