As the national association advocating for the interior design profession in Canada, the Interior Designers of Canada (IDC) has established an awards program to promote the value of interior design across the country. IDC?s Value of Design Awards (VODA) shine a spotlight on Canadian interior designers by providing a forum to showcase the benefits of design thinking: an empathetic, inventive and iterative process focused on the human experience within interior spaces.
The Value of Design Awards take into consideration the design process including framing (and re-framing) of the design challenge, the research used to identify deep-seated human needs and business drivers, the inspiration for the resultant design direction, and the steps for implementation towards a realized solution. To be recognized the solution must address a business and/or human challenge and demonstrate how the design provides a benefit to the client?s organization or to the people experiencing the designed space.
PURPOSE
