Meet The Jury

Jennifer Thorogood, OAA, received her professional M.Arch degree from McGill University. Prior to her education in architecture, she studied fine arts at the University of Western Ontario in London. Jennifer is a partner and principal designer at T B A, an architecture and design studio based in Montréal, with an emphasis on the domestic environment. In 2021, the firm, in collaboration with David Theodore, represented Canada at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale with Impostor Cities, a project about architectural identity and about faking it. Jennifer currently teaches design studio at McGill University Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture.

Liane Veness is an Architect, instructor, and coordinator for the Centre for Architecture, Structures, and Technology (CAST) at University of Manitoba, and the founding director of an award-winning design and research-based practice. Her work responds to the urgent need to rebuild our relationship with the living world. She investigates technology as an act of structuring, examining how architecture mediates between ecological sites, building envelopes, bodies, and space. Through this lens, she critically assesses contemporary “best practices” within sociocultural and post-anthropogenic environmental frameworks, seeking strategies that embed ecological responsibility and cultural awareness into architectural thinking and practice.

​Mauricio Quirós Pacheco, born in Costa Rica, is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto’s John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, and the founding partner of MIAU Studio, an architecture firm practicing in Costa Rica and Canada. He holds a Master of Architecture in Urban Design, with distinction, from Harvard University, and a Bachelor of Architecture (Best Thesis Award) from Universidad del Diseño.

From 2010 to 2014, Mauricio worked with then-director Mirko Zardini at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA). He has practiced architecture and urban design in the Americas and Europe with offices including Stanley Saitowitz Office and the Renzo Piano Building Workshop. He has served as a guest critic at various universities, including Yale University and the Sam Fox School of Architecture, and as a guest juror for international competitions such as Architecture for Humanity’s Crossing Borders competition and the International Open Competition for FUNDECOR Headquarters.

Mauricio sits on the Editorial Board of Manifest: A Journal of American Architecture and Urbanism, and his writings have appeared in publications such as Domus, San Rocco, and the Architectural Observer. In 2016, he co-curated the symposium Modern Architectures in Central America with Hans Ibelings, and in 2024, both—together with the collaboration of Andrés Fernández—published Modern Architectures in Central America, an overview of 20th-century modern architecture in the region.
