Nominations for the Brick Award 24 announced

• Announcement of 50 Nominees for the Brick Award 24 in five categories
• 743 projects from 54 countries submitted
• The Brick Award provides a platform for inspiring examples of best
practices

Vienna, 18 October 2023 – The 50 projects nominated for the international
prize for brick architecture, the Brick Award 24 were announced today. All
in all, 743 projects from 54 countries were submitted. In summer, an
experienced preselection jury then shortlisted those projects which in
their opinion had achieved the most remarkable results using brick as the
building material. This year, 31 of the projects on the shortlist came
from Europe, nine from Central and South America, with the remainder from
North America, Australia, India and other Asian countries such as Korea,
China, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.

The Brick Award is presented in five categories: Feeling at home, Living
together, Working together, Sharing public spaces, and Building outside
the box. The category winners and the overall winner of the Brick Award 24
will be announced at the award ceremony in Vienna in early summer 2024.
The winners are chosen by an expert jury of five renowned architects who
base their decision on criteria such as visual appeal, the innovative
quality of the design concept and the skillful use of brick.
Sustainability and energy efficiency also play a key role.

“More than ever before, architecture faces the challenge of enabling
affordable housing while at the same time conserving the natural resources
of our planet. The projects nominated for the Brick Award 24 illustrate
the innovative power that is needed to balance these sometimes-conflicting
goals and quite clearly show the potential offered by different types of
brick in a wide range of applications. Resource-efficient construction and
the use of local materials are more than just an ongoing fashionable trend
but are quite literally the foundation for a sustainable quality of life.
This makes it all the more important to provide a stage for these
inspiring examples of best practice,” says Heimo Scheuch, CEO,
Wienerberger AG.

In detail, the shortlisted projects fall into the following categories:

• Feeling at home: 10 projects
• Living together: 11 projects
• Working Together: 9 projects
• Sharing public spaces: 10 projects
• Building outside the box: 10 projects
