IIDANE Award Recipient Connie Fong

 

MA Interior Design student Connie Fong was recently awarded a $1,000.00 scholarship for her entry in the 3rd Annual IIDA New England Interior Design Awards.  Connie won the student prize in the graduate student category for her thesis, entitled, “A New Generation Geneaology Library.”

The award ceremony took place on June 23, 2009, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

MA Interior Design candidate Leah Cantor has written an article which was published in Contract Magazine.  The article is about KidsBuild!, an event for children co-sponsored by the Boston Society of Architects and the Museum for Contemporary Art.  Leah’s article is based on her experience as a volunteer “building inspector” for the event, which was held at the ICA in late May.
