Students or emerging practitioners focused on making their mark in the architecture world are encouraged to apply for the RAIC Foundation’s 2025 Scholarships and Bursaries to receive recognition and monetary support for their work.
The Foundation was established in 1964 and is governed by a Board of Trustees and is committed to advancing excellence and knowledge in Canadian architecture.
The Foundation’s objectives include supporting students and interns in their architectural programs, promoting public discussion of architectural ideas affecting society, and supporting scholars in advanced research relating to community and the built environment.
The 2025 portfolio features expanded opportunities such as the new Bing Thom Award, which is an essay competition open to all students enrolled in a Canadian school of architecture, or in the RAIC Syllabus Program. The eligibility criteria for the College of Fellows Centennial Fund has also been expanded and will offer two awards this year.

Groundwork is a three-part film and exhibition series exploring the conceptual development and field research of contemporary architects cultivating alternative modes of engagement with new project sites. Using documentary as a curatorial tool, the CCA will take a critical look at how designers across diverse geographies and contexts engage with their environments in preliminary phases of projects. In doing so, thinking processes, research, and stages of transformation will be highlighted as revelatory aspects of architectural work that help to deepen our understanding of new critical modes of practice and engagement. In light of the ecological crisis, the project questions how different architects situate themselves in relation to changing natural and disciplinary boundaries.
The exhibition is on from now until September 14, 2025.

This exhibition surveys the 35 year career of Toronto-born Brooklyn-based artist Elana Herzog and is curated by internationally Canadian artist Jessica Stockholder. It features a new site-responsive installation made using wallpaper designed by the artist, metal staples, textiles, and paint.
Part of Herzog’s process is to encrust textiles onto – and into – different surfaces. Herzog, who spent a decade as an electrician, explains “while working in the building trades, I became intimately acquainted with the built environment and how it is constructed. On a very personal level I learned about how systems interact and are installed in buildings – what’s behind the walls and under the floors.”
Her work can be described as a form of domestic archeology, often engaging architecture and other more intimate forms of material culture.
