Design Competition Results
The Epidemic Urbanism Initiative (EUI) is pleased to announce the results of the design competition, Designing for Health and Equity: Supporting Vulnerable Communities in the Post-Pandemic Age.
The goal of this design competition is to provide a setting for collaboration between students, teachers, designers, thinkers, architects, artists, and practitioners from a range of disciplines and fields in order to create and discuss conceptual design ideas that explicitly promote healthy places for vulnerable communities.
This design competition sought submissions in four categories: senior housing, community clinics, neighborhood schools, and public parks. Each design category was reviewed by three jurors consisting of faculty and professionals from various countries and disciplines. Shortlisted projects will be discussed by the jury and guest commentators in final review meetings for each topic on:
Senior Housing: Aging Resiliently in Community. Friday, October 8, 2021, 12-1:30pm US Eastern Time. Register here.
Community Clinics: Increasing Healthcare Access for Underserved Communities. Saturday, October 9, 2021. 12-1:30pm US Eastern Time. Register here.
