Global design and architecture firm Gensler<\/a> announced the two recipients of its Diversity Scholarships, which aim to inspire innovation in design by supporting architecture students from underrepresented communities.<\/p>\n

Rosa McDonald, a graduate student at North Carolina State College of Design<\/a>, received first place honors and a $20,000 scholarship, while second prize and a $10,000 scholarship went to Alejandro Finol, an undergraduate student at Cornell University\u2019s School of Architecture, Art, and Planning<\/a>. Both winners will receive opportunities to intern at Gensler.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur firm has always believed that diversity is one of the key drivers of innovation in architecture for both our firm and our clients,\u201d said Diane Hoskins, the firm\u2019s co-CEO. \u201cGensler\u2019s Diversity Scholarship is a unique opportunity for us to celebrate and empower emerging design talent from diverse backgrounds. Welcoming a variety of perspectives into our firm only strengthens our inclusive design environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a statement from Gensler, McDonald\u2019s first place submission, a proposed community center in Durham, North Carolina, seeks to unite communities currently divided by socio-economic inequality and a lack of public resources. With a foreground of health, wellness, and sustainability, McDonald\u2019s design creates a space where citizens can come together to socialize and learn.<\/p>\n
