Athabasca University Prof. Henry Tsang wins 2nd Prize in the International Essay Competition on Accessible Architecture hosted by Bee Breeder Competition Organisers. His essay entitled “Accessible Design: An Architect’s Blind Spot” will be published in a book "What is Accessible Architecture?" by ARCHHIVE Books.

Dr. Henry Tsang is an award-winning architect based in Calgary, Canada and trained in the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification program.  

“Bee Breeders Competition Organisers is pleased to announce the results for its Accessible Architecture Essay Competition. This event is part of a competition series focused on accessibility, and was run in tandem with The Home for the Blind competition, which sought designs for the home of a single blind occupant.

Articulating the active role of architectural design in the disabling or enabling of its users is not an easy task. Bee Breeders and its juror sought thoughts, insight, and research that best articulates a truly equitable understanding of inclusive accessible architecture.”
