Currently, the service provided by Axya links manufacturers and buyers of manufactured goods. In order to find a perfect match between a manufacturer and a buyer, the computer-aided design (CAD) files they share need to be analyzed. However, manual analysis of large amounts of CAD files is too time-consuming while requiring high engineering expertise. Based […]

Oregon spotted frog (OSF) is Canada’s most endangered amphibian. This frog inhabits the wetlands of Lower Fraser Valley in British Columbia, where it is estimated that only a few hundred breeding individuals are left in a widely distributed population. Since this frog is very endangered, a conservation program is in action to save this species […]

The agriculture sector of the Canadian prairies including the province of Saskatchewan is one of the major contributors to the Canadian economy. Farmers are the main driver of this sector, who often face delays in their harrowing process due to unexpected breakage of the harrow tines that they use. In this project, the team will […]

Ce projet questionne le rôle de l’architecture dans la lutte à l’itinérance – un problème public qui occupe une place croissante à la fois dans l’espace public, médiatique et politique (réglementaire, législatif) et dans l’espace urbain.
