IHCD's Josh Safdie Wins Berkeley Prize Teaching Fellowship Josh Safdie was selected as one of the five inaugural winners of the First BERKELEY PRIZE Teaching Fellowship on April 19, 2013. Established in 1998, the BERKELEY PRIZE strives to show architects-in-training that the smallest act of building has global implications: that design can and does play a major role in the social, cultural, and psychological life of both the individual and society at large. The primary goal for the BERKELEY PRIZE Teaching Fellowship, which was awarded for the first time this year, is to focus students’ attention on the social and physical characteristics of the proposed users of the buildings and spaces they design.

“New Day”: Documentary Released About IHCD/Open Society Foundations Project in Zagreb, Croatia In December 2012, construction was completed on a 100 square meter flat in Zagreb, Croatia designed by IHCD and funded by the Open Society Foundations Mental Health Initiative. The Universally-Designed flat, which is owned by the Association for Promoting Inclusion in Zagreb, now serves as the principal residence of four formerly-institutionalized adults with developmental and physical disabilities. The 35-minute documentary discusses not only the specific features of the design of the flat, but also the human aspects of disability and inclusion as it chronicles the first important steps in the residents’ transition from their previous life situations to a new life, living independently as possible within the community. |
