The
LafargeHolcim Awards seeks leading projects of professionals as well as bold

solutions with architectural excellence.
The 6th

with a high probability of realisation. Construction/fabrication must not

The Awards Next Generation category seeks visionary

sustainable construction of the LafargeHolcim Foundation. The criteria cover
innovation and transferability; ethical standards and social inclusion;
resource and environmental performance; economic viability and compatibility;
and contextual and aesthetic impact. The competition promotes circular
thinking and the reduction of CO2 emissions across all disciplines. It
identifies the ideas with the highest potential to tackle today’s challenges
to increasing urbanization and to improve quality of life.
