ASID Foundation's Transform Grant recipients announced for 2016
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients for its fifth annual Transform Grant. This annual award, made possible through the support of the Donghia Foundation, focuses on supporting evidence‐based research that investigates the impact of interior design on a particular topic; this year, that topic is "learning experience."
The seed grant award of $30,000 was awarded to a multidisciplinary team from the Center for Advanced Design Research and Evaluation, HKS, Inc., Dallas Independent School District, and Herman Miller on their proposal to build a prototype space for examining how high school students interact with their environment for personalized learning. The research project award of $70,000 was awarded to an interdisciplinary team from the University of Florida for their proposal to create a typology of space for mixed-use learning zones and to develop evidence-based design guidelines for implementation.
