The award category celebrates the design of a future project that demonstrates a salutogenic vision for healthy environments and addresses anticipated socioeconomic challenges. The Sheba Negev Hospital Master Plan will service the biotech and residential sector of Be’er Sheva, Israel, by providing 300,000 sqm of healthcare facilities and 600 patient beds. The project aims to harvest select portions of the hospital’s wastewater to treat and recycle for horticultural use in the country with a specific focus on semi-desert flora.
