Buildner is pleased to announce the results of its third edition of the Hospice – Home for the Terminally Ill Competition, dedicated to creating supportive spaces for individuals facing terminal illnesses. This year's challenge invited architects and designers to envision a daycare facility that promotes comfort, dignity, and community. Participants designed a facility accommodating up to fifteen visitors and five staff members, incorporating essential spaces like a common area, library, and therapy room, while integrating local cultural and environmental contexts into their designs.
An esteemed international jury reviewed the submissions, comprising industry leaders such as Alan Dunlop, Dr. Nirit Pilosof, Rubén García Rubio, Arturo Mc Clean, Rion Philbin, Susanne Siepl-Coates, Sonsoles Vela Navarro, and Steven Wright. After thorough evaluations based on functionality, aesthetics, materiality, and the overall impact of the designs, the winners have been determined. The first and Student prize winners are Samuel Andrejčák and Lukáš Bím from Slovakia, whose design harmonizes with the surrounding landscape and creates a tranquil, therapeutic environment in an abandoned quarry. The second prize was awarded to Julia Pytko, Maciej Paweł Oberzig, and Daniel Piotr Chiłła from Poland for "The Gift of Time," which offers a sanctuary for contemplation and healing in Konstancin-Jeziorna. The third prize winners, Cici Xi Huang, Tsz Lok Kyle Wong, Tiffany Cin-See Chui, and Edward Lincoln Sotingco Uy from Canada, designed "Crossing Paths," focusing on fostering meaningful connections between people and nature.
Additionally, the Sustainability Award goes to Muzhi Wang and Lucius Hu from the United States for their innovative use of prefabricated mycelium modules, creating personal pods that enhance the relationship between nature and community. Each pod features a living memorial tree planted upon arrival, ensuring a lasting tribute. Buildner and its jury panel extend their gratitude to all participants for their thoughtful submissions and congratulate the winners for their exceptional designs.
