ASID Announces 2010 Student and Educator Design Competition Winners
National Design Competitions Celebrate Interior Design Excellence.
Washington, DC, April 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) announces the winners of the 2010 ASID Student Competition and the ASID Educator Design Excellence Competition. Both award programs are juried national design competitions that recognize the outstanding work and leadership amongst ASID student and educator members.
The 2010 Student Design Competition challenged students to create a wellness concept to address a particular societal issue. 2010 Student Design Competition winners include:
Quoc Quach, Student Member ASID of Kendall School of Art and Design, was named winner for his design concept for the Willow Healthcare facility in Grand Rapids, Mich. His concept fosters patient well-being and comfort through the use of natural daylighting, soothing interior colors and sustainable materials that draw a connection with nature.
Kala Latts, a student at Virginia Tech, received honorable mention for her concept for the long-term care wing at the Inova Regional Department of Alzheimer’s and Dementia in Alexandria, Va. Grounded in sustainable design principles, her concept promotes a homelike atmosphere that relieves patient stress and slows the onset of symptoms.
