IDC’s Value of Design Awards (VODA)

 

BRIEF

As the national association advocating for the interior design profession in Canada, IDC is announcing the establishment of a new awards program to promote the value of interior design across the country.

IDC’s Value of Design Awards (VODA) will 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.

VODA seeks to demonstrate the positive human and business impact of design thinking for the people and companies who hire a professional interior designer.

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
To demonstrate the value inherent in design for the client
To illustrate the positive impact of design on the users of the spaces
To collect and publish evidence-based case studies to support the above two goals
To provide a national platform for Canadian interior design projects within Canada and around the
world
