Interested parties can still apply for the Aerogel Architecture Award 2023 until Sunday, April 30, 2023 (11:59 p.m.). The "Realized Solutions" category is looking for internationally realized projects by architects and civil engineers in which aerogel is used in a special way. In the "Student designs" category, students can present their project ideas for the use of aerogel in architecture, construction, renovation or monument preservation.
These can be, for example, solutions for improved energy efficiency, solutions for daylighting or other solutions for buildings. Participants are particularly encouraged to submit realized renovation projects for listed buildings whose energy efficiency has been improved with the help of aerogel insulation materials.
The "Aerogel Architecture Award" will be presented on Friday, June 2, by the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) in the NEST building on the Empa campus in Dübendorf near Zurich (Switzerland). The winners will have the opportunity to present their project in a ten-minute lecture. The presentation will also be broadcast in a public live stream.
