AIAS/SAGE Renewing Home Competition Winners Announced
AIAS and SAGE are proud to announce the winners of the Renewing Home Student Design Competition. There were 30 different schools represented with over 100 participants total. The judges were extremely impressed with the level of sophistication in the designs and the amount of research the designers have done.
The partners and sponsors of this competition challenged students to learn about skilled nursing home design, specifically the urgent need to break from the model of acute-care design, to one that supports long term residency.
Participants' designs were evaluated on compliance with all competition objectives, the accommodation for 60 residents within the built space of no more than 45,000 sq ft, clear and comprehensive design, response to the explicit healthcare use of the building within a residential typology, and originality of design.
The competition Jury was comprised of eight professionals representing different aspects of the competition:
