Brick Award 24: International Jury Shortlists 50 Projects
Vienna, 07 September 2023 – In 2024 the biennial Brick Award architecture competition will be held for the eleventh time. The many entries reflect the enormous interest in the award and the dedication shown by architects, international architecture critics, developers and journalists: All in all, 743 projects from 54 countries on six continents were submitted. The submission phase for the Brick Award 24 ran from 6 December 2022 to 14 March 2023, after which an experienced pre-selection jury picked the 50 most outstanding projects. These will be announced in October 2023. A renowned panel of international architects will then select the winners in each category. In addition, an overall winner will be chosen from among the winners of the individual categories. The Brick Award has been presented every two years since 2004 and in that time has established itself as a prestigious award in the construction industry. “Brick is a sustainable and valuable building material, whose innovative use we want to promote and reward. The judging criteria include the innovative quality of the design and architectural concept, the aesthetics, form and configuration of the projects as well as a strong focus on recycling, sustainability and energy efficiency. By promoting and recognizing the innovative use of brick, we are helping to stimulate environmentally friendly and resource-efficient construction,” says Heimo Scheuch, CEO of Wienerberger AG. One winner is nominated in each of the five award categories as well as an overall winner:
