Mental Health Design Academy Awards Winners 2011
Sponsored by HLM Architects
Lead judge
Chris Liddle, chairman, HLM Architects, UK
Criteria
Awarded for a mental health facility where an effective reconciliation between issues of security and perceived ‘openness’ are evident and where the operational need for supervision does not overwhelm the imperative to provide a civilising and humane setting to support therapeutic intervention. The project should appear community-friendly. Evidence of safe landscaping is important, as are levels of construction specification to meet informed standards of sustainability.
