The Institute Without Boundaries is now accepting applications for 2008-2009 program, which begins in September. Deadline for submissions is March 31, 2008.
The Institute without Boundaries is an interdisciplinary postgraduate program at the School of Design at George Brown College that challenges students to collaborate on global problems. Three years ago, our inaugural project, Massive Change, explored and sparked a discourse on the future of global design. Our second project, World House, confronts the issue of shelter for coming generations by developing housing systems that operate on the principles of sustainability, universality, technological responsiveness and ecological balance.
At the Institute, we envision a place where students, teachers, industry and community experts come together not only as creators and designers but also ambassadors of hope. We imagine how to live, learn, work, and play together as a global community. Our goal is to find alternative development patterns and a viable path to a sustaining future, and allow the world to re-envision the designer as a problem solver with the ability to effect positive change for humanity.

Each year, the Western European Architecture Foundation awards the Gabriel Prize-a $17,500 grant for the study of classical architecture and landscape in France. Prize winners embark on a three-month itinerary of their own devising. While abroad, Gabriel laureates focus on some particular aspect of French architecture: for one recent laureate that meant the monastic cloisters of provincial France; for another, the arcades of Paris. Whatever their individual program, prize-winners work closely with the Foundation's European representative, a Parisian architect who is available for regular criticism and discussion. This provides one constant in the laureates’ time abroad. Drawing provides another. Prize winners spend much of their sabbatical sketching, measuring, and, in the course of three months, producing three large renderings. In the process, each laureate comes to know some of the masterpieces of France.
