Natural Talent Design Competition |
The NTDC provides an applied learning experience in the principles of integrated design, sustainability, innovation and social consciousness, all of which are components of the LEED Green Building Rating System. The competition is directed toward the notion that a sustainable future must incorporate the sustainable design of structures of every type. The challenge exists in identifying how the planned structures within our cities can prove to have the greatest potential. Sustainable healthcare design is increasingly seen as a logical extension of a healthcare organization’s mission to care for people -- to “First Do No Harm.” At the most immediate level, sustainable design is about providing an enhanced healing environment focused on stress reduction, safety and high indoor environmental quality for patients, their care providers, and families. |
