- For the fourth week in a row, the AIA Academy of Architecture for Health's Research Initiatives Committee has just downloaded another new "bench-marking" case study. This 2017 AIA/AAH Healthcare Design Award winning project is the Sinai Ambulatory Surgical Facility located in Kyabirwa, Uganda by Kliment Halsband Architects. This project is a very interesting because of its contextual response as well as its healing environment response; but in particular, because of its sustainability concepts and overall environmental response to a difficult and isolate site. We have added the introductory 2-page spread to peal your interest. Go to the Library to see the rest of this Case Study.
The American Institute of Architects recognized the project as one of the best in the nation, awarding it a 2017 AIA/AAH Healthcare Design Award.
We now have thirty-two (32) Case Studies of the 2013 through 2018 Award Winning Projects in the Library. We have drafted several more of the 2018 and 2019 Award Winning projects Case Studies and several of those will be submitted over the next few weeks.
