This award will be offered and presented every three years alternately at the ISH and Light+Building trade fairs. The Architecture & Technology Award will be given for a building erected in Europe that best combines excellence of architectural design with quality and practicality. Against a background of increasing demands on external form and internal functional efficiency in modern buildings, the Architecture & Technology Award will recognise the achievements of architects and engineers whose successful cooperation from project planning through to project execution is characterised by integrated activity. The sponsors for this award are Messe Frankfurt, the Federation of German Architects (BDA), the Association of German Consultant Engineers (VBI), the German Architecture Museum (DAM) and theGerman Institute of Building Climate Control (FGK).
