IFHE WORLD CONGRESS 2018
The keynote address on Tuesday morning – from ‘futurist’, Tim Longhurst – was as challenging in different ways as the presentation on Monday morning. How well do we adapt to change? How do great teams interact most effectively? The world is buzzing with change in ways earlier generations could never conceptualise, and the opportunities coming with change are monumental and brimming with prospect. Tim is a futurist who analyses opportunities, and with an open mind helped us to explore the possible. This was done with examples from risks that present ‘a real and present danger’ in cyber security, and the need to
engage with those around us to help us all to ‘flex ourselves’ outside our comfort zone, and to improve, expand, and unite in the common causes associated with our profession. Both of our keynote speakers presented compelling, powerful, and insightful messages that gave rise to many conversations during breaks in proceedings.
The ‘university of life’ Also of considerable note was the presentation from Dr Mark Keogh of Intrinsic Learning. His key message was that, as the world around us adapts and changes, so we need to adapt our method
IFHE Building Award 2018
Following on from the very successful inaugural International Building Award in The Hague in 2016, the IHEA continued the efforts commenced by NVTG to present an award to a successful healthcare project in 2018 at the IFHE’s 25th Congress. The IFHE International Building Award is intended to recognise projects of excellence in healthcare design, construction, and operation, that excel across eight essential criteria: Design for Physical Health and Wellbeing. Design for Mental Health and Wellbeing. Design for Accessibility. Encouragement of Independence. Design for Functionality for Everyday Activities. Contribution to Urban Context. Environmental Sustainability. Design Innovation and Contribution to Best Practice.
“The prime goal of this award is to embrace the concept of the healing environment to humanise the design of healthcare buildings: a healing environment for all users, in different local, cultural, and social circumstances,” explains Masi Mohammadi, Professor of Architecture in Health, HAN University in the Netherlands. These are all areas where the IFHE seeks to promote and encourage member organisations to focus on achieving world-class, sustainable, innovative healthcare that contributes to social expectations. The IHEA engaged with Match Studios, an innovation and collaboration centre linked to the University of South Australia (UniSA) School of Art, Architecture and Design. With the support of Architecture graduate students, the criteria were established, and a scoring matrix developed.
Invitations were sent globally to all IFHE member organisations for projects to be submitted for assessment against the above criteria, and, as part of the graduate programme, students were involved in the assessment of each project against these criteria.
Projects from six continents
Projects were submitted from six continents, and seven projects were shortlisted for consideration by the International Jury. The shortlisted projects were from South Africa, Japan (x2), Belgium, the USA, and Australia (x2). The Jury included IFHE expertise from Brazil, the Netherlands, Canada, Japan, and Australia, and excluded anybody involved in any of the submissions. The Jury was provided with details of all the projects and the selection criteria, and was asked to rate each submission independently, with a score from 1 to 10.

of recognising learning and skills development. The ‘university of life’, he argued, has students enrolled in every possible curriculum, and learning is delivered in a diverse and broad way. Harnessing and formalising the learning that is part of everyday life has been Dr Keogh’s mantra for the past two decades, which he explained had led him to develop ‘apps’ that can capture and link informal learning with formal qualifications. The Institute of Healthcare Engineering, Australia (IHEA) has partnered with Dr Keogh to trial an application that maps daily workplace activities with formal recognised qualifications, and by this
The quality of the projects and level of detail provided to Match Studios, and shortlisted for the Jury to consider, made the final selection process exceptionally competitive. All of the submissions scored above 64% across the aggregated total, with only 5.2% separating the top four entrants.
It was my pleasure – as incoming IFHE President and coordinator of the 2018 Award – to announce the winner, with the support of the students from UniSA, Amy Kitchingman and Rachael McFadyen (left to right, above), in attendance. The Sunshine Coast University Hospital, in Brisbane, Australia (below), was awarded the 2018 IFHE International Building Award by the IFHE Jury panel. Aurecon Australia provided the services design for the project, including for the ESD components, while architectural services were provided by a joint venture between Architectus and Rice Daubney Architects. It is a powerful testimony to the excellence of healthcare projects in Australia and in the global context that the winning project was located in Brisbane. IHEA seeks to ‘enable world-class healthcare’, so is very proud to be associated with the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, and to have recognised the project with the International Building Award.
