Fassa Bortolo International Award for Sustainable Architecture , Ferrara / Italien

 

The Award for Sustainable Architecture was conceived and promoted in 2003 by Fassa Srl, owner of the “Fassa Bortolo” brand, and the University of Ferrara Department of Architecture, in celebration of a decade of activity; it was created for the purpose of rewarding and making known to the broad public architecture that is able to interact with the environment in a balanced way, designed for human needs and able to satisfy the necessities of our generation without compromising, through indiscriminate consumption of resources and the resulting pollution, those of future generations.

 

The Award is open to the participation of projects for new buildings, the re-qualification and/or extension of existing buildings, urban and landscape design, or any other design field that assumes particular significance in terms of sustainability.

 

Applications for the Award may be submitted by individual professionals or architectural or engineering firms; each individual candidate or group may participate with a single realized project. 

The work must have been carried out and completed within the past 5 years.

Professors teaching during the current Academic Year at the University of Ferrara Department of Architecture may not participate; works that have already been submitted for the award in the past will not be accepted.

For participation in the Award, the use of construction materials manufactured by the initiative’s sponsor, the Fassa Bortolo company, is absolutely not necessary or binding.
