​NEHW Green Voice Design Competition

​The NEWH Green Voice Design Competition provides students with the opportunity to showcase their design skills while utilizing the very best in sustainable design products and practices. The sponsors have generously donated the awards – one to the winning undergraduate student and one to the winning graduate student with airfare/lodging to the awards event at BDNY in New York in November.

Project Summary:
This competition is an Urban Biophilic Design Project. Through the use of storyboards, animation, annotations, rapid visualization, 2D drawings and 3D perspectives, the student shall tell a sustainable story for both the guest experience and the employees who work on-site. Describe the experience beyond what the guest can see, meaning what are the associated sensory qualities (i.e. smell, touch, sounds) that will augment your design drawings. Students will execute a dynamic, creative, cutting-edge design utilizing products; technologies, systems, materials, and construction practices that assist in meeting the deliverables as outlined. No set budget required, so have fun!

2023 MillerKnoll  MODERN ALWAYS AWARD

RUBY GIBERT
Grad student from the Advanced Interior Design and Technology program at the Centre for Arts and Technology
​Capstone Project: Together We are Here

The Knoll Modern Always Award is given to a student in the Advanced Interior Design and Technology Program, at Centre for Arts and Technology for their research and design of interior environments in their Final Graduation Project. This project speaks to fundamental aspects of modern design in the 21st century such as internationalism, social progressiveness, exploration of a changing world and attention to the purity of materials and form. Their designs exemplify a blend of art and craft with a focus on sustainable materials, environmental stewardship and wellness for people in their environment. This student recognizes the importance of timeless design through the compelling juxtaposition of classic and contemporary designs in the creation of modern interior environments where people can live, work and play. This award was inspired by one of Knoll’s founders, Florence Knoll, who the industry lost in 2019 at the age of 101. Florence continues to inspire many in the field of Interior Design and influences design approaches today. 

​CATO is proud to present this award in conjunction with our industry partners Miller Knoll Canada and HUB Office Furnishings.
