    Gramazio & Kohler, Architektur und Digitale Fabrikation – ETH Zurich, Switzerland receiving the Holcim Awards Acknowledgement prize 2011 Europe for High-efficiency concrete formwork technology: (l-r) Fabio Gramazio, Silvan Oesterle and Axel Vansteenkiste congratulated by Kaspar Wenger, Holcim Switzerland.

Building upon technologies common in highly industrialized countries, the proposed scheme was praised by the jury for establishing a precise, economic and resource-efficient technique for the fabrication of free-form concrete structures. During the initial development phase the scheme works for dedicated construction concepts only, but has a high potential to be applied on a larger scale.
