The Award

The prestigious Richard John Livingstone Martin Humanitarian Design Award honors the memory of Dick Martin, a professor of Industrial Design at Georgia Tech, and founder of the Center for Rehabilitation Technology now known as CATEA, the Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access.

Martin was a beloved professor, dedicated to humanitarian design’s important role in society. He was well-regarded for his research and outreach to the community, but his focus and dedication was to his students.

The Richard John Livingstone Martin Humanitarian Design Award supports excellence in humanitarian design for undergraduates in the School of Industrial Design at Georgia Tech.  It recognizes:

  • Design that makes an impact, with strong potential to improve the human condition
  • Innovative design that creatively solves problems, and
  • Strong aesthetics in both product and presentation

Barbara Rose, Jan Lorenc (MArch '94), and Chung Yoo (BSID '87, MSID '97) generously established this award in 2016.

Enjoy a few inspiring Humanitarian Design TED talks to get your creative juices flowing. Please send your submissions to humanitarian@design.gatech.edu by Sunday, April 28.
