Architect Fran Rover wins Hexter Award for eye institute waiting area
Philadelphia designer Fran Rover gains the 15th annual S. M. Hexter Award for the Scheie Eye Institute waiting area. Her plan uses contrasts for vision impairment, warm textures, and glare control, with oak seating and vibrant color cues to ease patient navigation. The project reflects human ecology and collaboration with architects Vincent G. Kling and Partners. Rover, a Moore College of Art graduate, envisions spaces that reassure patients and support diverse lifestyles. The prize includes a three week European study tour.
