Objective

Sustainable construction is an evolutionary concept, both contextually and technologically determined. The objective of the Holcim Foundation in cooperation with its  partner universities 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.
