Refocusing the Holcim Awards
Evolving the competition format
Building upon the success of the previous six cycles and 18 years of achievements of the Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction, we are evolving the Holcim Awards format to reflect the increasingly urgent ambitions to enable a sustainable built environment.
As the appetite to tackle the many consequences of climate change grows, we are refocusing and accelerating the Holcim Awards. We want to uncover the real-world projects that exemplify sustainable construction and that can rapidly become case studies for the global design and construction community.
We will continue to invite architects, urbanists and engineers to submit their projects, and these will be evaluated using the Foundation’s goals and principles for sustainable construction. We will work with our winners to regularly document their projects to share updates and inspiration that accelerate the usage of the best solutions for a sustainable built environment.
