MEMORIAL ROBERT E. MARKINSON ARCHITECTURE AWARD
About this Award
This $1500 award is being gifted in memory of alumnus Robert E. Markinson RA, CCNY B.S. Architecture, 1990. Bob was an exquisite technical architect, adept at managing a project from beginning to end, his passion for design enabling him to fully understand the design intent and translate it into the best possible technical solution with elegant and resilient detailing. Bob’s joyful approach to the profession made him an enthusiastic mentor for young designers, sharing with them his love for research and new technologies and inspiring them with his dedication, kindness, and generosity.
After Bob’s passing in April 2020, his wife Haritini Kanthou repurposed money left over from donations from family, friends and colleagues to establish this award in his honor. She continues to fund it annually. We are grateful that she has chosen to give this to a deserving student at the Spitzer School of Architecture of CCNY, who shows expertise in technology, detailing and research in Architecture.
