SAVE THE DATE
On World Architecture Day,
the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture announces that its 18th edition
will be held on May 6, 2025, at the Iuav University of Venice, around the theme:
ARCHITECTURE IS CONSTRUCTION
The laureates of this edition will be revealed during the event.
Following the 2024 edition's theme of "Architecture Is Education", dedicated to the transdisciplinary transmission of sustainable design, the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture returns for its 18th edition with the theme "Architecture Is Construction". This fully engaged theme aligns with the challenges of sustainable construction, a field in which Saint-Gobain, the Official Partner of the Award, plays a key role.
Created in 2006 by architect and researcher Jana Revedin, the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture annually honors five international architects, urban planners, or landscape designers who stand out in their commitment to sustainability.
Their work offers clear perspectives on the pursuit of contemporary, environmentally responsible architecture that aligns with current ethical, civic, and social concerns; that innovates in the fields of ecology, energy, materials, and technology, and that advances the quest for new standards in both public and private infrastructure.
The laureates will be revealed during the Symposium, which will take place under the patronage of UNESCO, at the Iuav University of Veniceon May 6, 2025.
The 2025 Jury, chaired by Prof. Dr. Jana Revedin, architect and founding president of the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture, includes:
- Marie-Hélène Contal, architect, Dean of the École Spéciale d'Architecture, Paris, France
- Dr. Jacopo Galli, architect, Iuav University of Venice, Venice, Italy
- Prof. Dr. Spela Hudnik, architect, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
- Prof. Dr. Deniz Incedayi, architect, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Istanbul, Turkey

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS 2026
«Architecture Is Transformation»
The Global Award for Sustainable Architecture launches its call for applications for the 2026 edition
endorsed by the International Union of Architects.
Applications are accepted from October 7, 2024, to January 20, 2025.
How can architecture accommodate and foster transformation?
How can we transform the existing built environment, whether protected or not, urban and rural infrastructures, and architectural materials and immaterialities?
How can collective intelligence, cutting edge technological tools and experimental design processes emancipate our clients and users, all in the service of equality?
The Global Award for Sustainable Architecture invites architects, designers, urban planners, and landscape designers from around the world to submit their applications for studied or built projects, research, writing, and experimentation demonstrating innovation and design quality. The Global Award for Sustainable Architecture rewards a candidate's professional, scientific, social, and political commitment, rather than individual projects.
The five laureates will be revealed at the 2026 Symposium and their works will be featured in a book published by ArchiTangle.
