在往年比赛中，PAVE竞赛分为两组，分别是商店设计和视觉营销。今年，我们将把各学科整合在一起。主办方希望参赛者思考完整的环境背景，包括商店设计和视觉营销。您可以专注于您的主要设计领域和/或与专注于其他设计领域的人员合作。参赛作品可以来自由两名学生组成的参赛队伍，如果最终团队作品获奖，那么两名学生都将获得奖励，举例来说，考虑商店设计的学生可以与专门从事视觉营销的学生合作。通过合作或着重某个设计研究领域，参赛者可以从全新角度进行思考，从而提升作品质量。主办方期待在您融合商店、体验和视觉设计的同时，看到您对The Home Depot的重新构思。

For the DIY new homeowner or even the seasoned Pro contractor, home improvement projects can be exciting and exhilarating. But getting the right tools, the right materials and the right know-how can make home improvement projects daunting as well.
The 2018 PAVE Design Challenge invites you to rethink and reinvent how The Home Depot stores can give customers the know-how they need to tackle all their home improvement projects with confidence. As a company, we challenge ourselves to bring fresh thinking and customer-centric innovation every day.
Design expectations for this year’s PAVE competition include:
Pushing the envelope of what the current experience is today
• Shaping the future and capturing possibilities
• Expanding the way Home Depot engages their customers with a new portfolio of experiences
• Providing powerful thought and design that is a collaboration or combination of design fields- architecture, interior design, visual merchandising and graphic design.
Entry teams of two students will be accepted as well as individual student entries. If a team of two is selected as a winner, both students will be recognised.
There is no entry fee.
COMPETITION DETAILS
In previous years, the PAVE competition was divided into two groups: Store Design and Visual Merchandising. This year we will be integrating the disciplines into a single challenge. We invite students to think about the full environment context, including both Store Design and Visual Merchandising. You may focus on your primary design area and/or collaborate with people who focus on other design areas. Individual student entries will be accepted as well as entries from teams of two students. If a team of two is chosen as winner, both students will be recognized. As an example, a student who considers Store Design their strength can partner with a student who specializes in Visual Merchandising. Collaborating or adapting your strengths and areas of design study can lead to improved work as a result of looking at a situation from a fresh perspective. We look forward to seeing your reimagined and reinvented visions of The Home Depot as you merge store, experience and visual design.
