Folding Spaces, an origami-influenced design proposal for medical facilities for abused women and children, won the grand prize at the prestigious 20th Estilo De Vida (EDV) competition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Conceptualized by young artist Donna Angelique Bihasa, it parallels the process of healing to origami, the Japanese art of traditional paper folding.<\/p>\n

Established in 2004 by sterling Filipino construction industry-based businessman Jorge Consunji, the annual interschool contest serves as a platform for collegiate innovators to highlight their skills and showcase their talents to industry professionals, contractors, and practitioners.<\/p>\n

The tilt challenged students to create multifunctional and efficient environments for a 28.8-square-meter (sqm) container van clinic and 24.5-sqm healthcare infirmary. This will be used as protection units for abuse survivors on their path to recovery.<\/p>\n

Entries must include consultation, physical examination, waiting, and comfort rooms, as well as play areas for kids.<\/p>\n

“Similarly, in rehabilitation, every small step, every moment of progress, contributes to the transformation of the individual’s well-being,” Bihasa shared. “It is not a procedure that can be rushed, just as you cannot fast-track the creation of a beautiful piece.” <\/p>\n

To provide a calm and soothing atmosphere and grant a sense of balance and peace of mind, the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) Interior Design student likewise used soft, tranquil, and warm neutral colors. <\/p>\n

She incorporated fun and modular furniture \u2013 folding tables, chairs \u2013 that offer flexibility and freedom for individuals to embrace change. Bihasa integrated canvases, bookshelves, storage solutions, toys, and a television to encourage the users to find relaxation and to unleash their creativity, and express their true selves. <\/p>\n

She was mentored by Benildean educator IDr. Candice Arboleda. Arboleda highlighted that this opportunity allowed learners to immerse themselves in an experience close to actual practice.<\/p>\n

“Being out there and presenting their works to a bigger audience, the conversation becomes larger with their works being discussed as more than just concepts and theories,” she furthered.<\/p>\n

EDV granted P150,000 cash prize for Bihasa\u2019s winning entry. They likewise hailed Carl Valdez from the University of the Philippines (UP) as the First Runner-Up and Clarisse Abrera from the Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST) as the Second Runner-Up. They received P75,000 and P40,000 cash prizes, respectively.<\/p>\n

Seven semi-finalists, on the other hand, were also commended for their initiative and took home P10,000 cash prizes each.<\/p>\n

The works of the Top 3 winners will be donated to Amang Rodriguez Memorial Medical Center, National Children’s Hospital, and Ospital ng Makati for their renovation projects. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
