CV
Iason Tsironis was born in Montreal, Canada in 1985. He received his Masters in Architecture from McGill University in 2011 and was inscribed into the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Honour Roll upon graduation. His thesis project entitled "I, Caracalla" was recognized with the Arcop Alcan Award for demonstrating particular sensitivity to the architectural and cultural traditions of its location. The project explores the contemporary potential of the ancient ruins of the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy, by imagining a physical re-engagement with them. In 2012, Mr. Tsironis was awarded the Prix de Rome for Emerging Practitioners from the Canada Council for the Arts, in recognition of his master work and for his proposed research project: in the second half of 2013, he will travel throughout the ex-Soviet Union to visit Soviet architectural ruins and contemplate their potential in today's contexts. Iason has worked in London, England for the office of Caruso St John Architects and currently lives in Berlin, Germany where he works for David Chipperfield Architects.
