“Sustainable construction in microcosm and as a theoretical object” – Holcim Awards Jury

  • 1 / 1

    Project entry 2011 - Temporary festival structure using recyclable building components, Providence, RI, USA: Manipulating walls.

The jury commended the project for the immediate concept of the built structure, but moreover for the fundamental research on the complexity of processes, focusing on the construction and its effects, the relation of material, light and thermal effects. Many principles of sustainable construction are directly or indirectly selected as subject or applied, yet in microcosm and as a theoretical object. The research has been transferred into an object of stunning aesthetic quality and shows great sensibility for its construction material.
