Objective
Sustainable construction is an evolutionary concept, both contextually and
technologically determined. The objective of the Holcim Foundation is to
establish the Holcim Awards as an international platform for professionals and
specialists of all generations to promote interdisciplinary dialog, bring
forward new ideas and examine potential solutions.
Lessons learned in one context have
applicability elsewhere, but may require adaptation and certainly need
explanation and illustration.
The Holcim Foundation intends
therefore to act as an enabler so that, whatever their origin, exciting and
important new ideas can be more widely discussed and assessed by a broader
audience of specialists. Facilitating exchange of experience and knowledge of
the determinants for sustainability in building and construction is an
investment in education, in innovation and in learning by doing.
Promoter
The Holcim Awards is a competition of the Holcim Foundation for Sustainable
Construction based in Switzerland. The independent Foundation is supported by
Holcim Ltd in cooperation with its local Group companies and partner
universities: the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich),
Switzerland; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston, USA; Tongji
University (TDX), Shanghai, China; University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil; and
the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), Johannesburg, South Africa.
Organization
The Holcim Awards competition is comprised of five regional Holcim Awards
(in 2004/5) and the global Holcim Award (in 2006). The regional Holcim Awards
are based on five geographic regions: Europe, North America, Latin America,
Africa Middle East and Asia Pacific. The award-winning regional entries qualify
for the global Holcim Award.
Participation
The Holcim Awards competition is open to sustainable construction projects
in architecture, landscape and urban design, civil and mechanical engineering
and other related disciplines. The project must demonstrate proof of
sustainability according to the five defined target issues. To be eligible for
entry, projects must have reached an advance design stage but construction must
not have yet commenced at the close of entries (March 31, 2005).
Adjudication
The partner universities of the Holcim Foundation define the evaluation
criteria and lead the independent juries.
Prizes
The total prize money for the regional and global Holcim Awards is USD 2
million.

The submission deadline is March 31, 2005 for the first regional Holcim
Awards competition. Submission of entries is only possible via the Internet.
