Assistant architecture professor Kiel Moe is this year’s recipient of the Rome Prize, presented by the American Academy in Rome, for a proposal that focuses on energy conservation in building design. Moe’s idea, titled “The Thermodynamic Figuration of Rome,” suggests using circulating water to heat and cool buildings, a low-tech approach that demands less energy than current systems and can easily be adapted to buildings in developing countries. The Rome Prize includes a fellowship that enables Moe to spend eleven months in Rome developing his project.

International business and strategy professor Harry Lane earned two awards at the annual Academy of Management conference in August. The first recog­nizes an article published in the Academy of Management Review ten years ago that has received the highest number of citations and made a significant impact on management scholarship. This year’s honored article, “An Organizational Learning Framework: From Intuition to Institution,” which Lane coauthored, examines how organizations can foster strategic renewal. Lane’s second award honors excellence in teaching international management and recognizes the recipient’s influence on the development of teaching materials and methods. Lane is the director of Northeastern’s Institute for Global Innovation Management.
