Criteria from Nyaya Health for Evaluating Design Entries
Note that most of these overlap with the aims and goals of OAN/AMD
· Appropriate design to the area, using local labor and materials where possible
· Integrated physically and aesthetically with existing hospital structures. In fact, ideally, the design would be of a innovative renovation or addition of an existing structure. This would likely be the most cost-effective way to add on telemedicine services. While a true renovation may not be possible given the guidelines of the competition, an innovative addition should be achieveable within the guidelines.
· Adaptable for multiple and unforeseen uses
· Energy-efficient for all seasons
· Structure with the small earthquake
· Design is able to accommodate and integrate with alternative energy sources well
· Willingness on the part of the design team to travel to Achham for at least one site visit using funds from the design team and not from the OAN/AMD funds.
· Interest and dedication of the design team to stay engaged in the project long-term, with the understanding that “sustainable design” cannot be achieved without sustainable intellectual commitment post-design and construction.
