Media Release

Sustainable place making and materials innovation

The winners of the 3rd International Holcim Awards competition for
sustainable construction projects and visions from across Europe have been
announced at a ceremony in Milan. A total of USD 300,000 was presented to
ten outstanding projects submitted by architects, planners, engineers and
project owners. The winning projects show the wide range of approaches in
the region to sustainable construction that respond both to intensified
urbanization and innovation in building materials and construction
techniques.

The Holcim Awards Gold 2011 for Europe and USD 100,000 was awarded to
German architects realities united for a project on the UNESCO World
Heritage site of Museuminsel in the heart of Berlin. The Flussbad urban
plan will remediate an area rich in cultural heritage by transforming an
under-utilized arm of the River Spree into a natural 745m-long "swimming
pool". The project will form a swimming zone equivalent to 17 Olympic-sized
pools - and directly improve the quality of urban life and the ecology of
the waterway.

The full list of winning projects located in Belgium, Finland, Germany, the
Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and United Kingdom is attached.

The Swiss-based Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction conducts the
competition in five regions in parallel across the world. More than 6,000
submissions for projects located in 146 countries entered the Holcim Awards
which aims to promote sustainable responses from the building and
construction industry to technological, environmental, socioeconomic and
cultural issues.
