Modern Office of Design + Architecture
Founded in 2013 by architects Ben Klumper and Dustin Couzens, Modern Office of Design + Architecture is a Calgary-based practice in the fields of architecture, urbanism, landscape and design. They practice along a spectrum of project types and scales, approaching projects without any preconceived agenda or style, but rather with an attitude of calculated naiveté towards the status quo. They seek the potential in constraints, exploiting them as opportunities for spectacle to emerge within the everyday. They relish conversations with like-minded thinkers, dreamers and makers who yearn to produce something bigger than any one individual could accomplish on their own.

The prize
The Prix de Rome in Architecture – Professional is awarded to a young practitioner of architecture or an architectural firm that has completed their first built works and has demonstrated exceptional artistic potential. With this prize, the recipient may travel abroad to develop their skills and their creative practice, and to strengthen their position in the international architecture world.
Background
Inspired by the Prix de Rome in architecture, which was created in the 18th century and helped young architects train in Italy, the Prix de Rome in Architecture – Professional was established in Canada in 1987 in pursuit of a more outward-looking vision towards the world.
