Sustainable Construction sustainable construction Regional and global Holcim Awards competition for sustainable construction projects 2005/2006 sustainable construction The Holcim Awards trophy consists of a concrete base surmounted by an icosahedron – a 12-cornered geometric form comprising 3 rectangles. The aspect ratio of the rectangles corresponds to the “perfect proportions” of the golden section, thus representing the goals of sustainable construction: harmony between today and tomorrow, between resources and consumption, and between needs and opportunities. The trophy for the regional competition carries the colors of the Holcim Foundation – red, gray, and black. The trophies for the global competition are gold, silver, and bronze. The Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction promotes sustainable construction around the world. To en- courage new approaches, genuine innovation and visionary thinking, the Holcim Awards for Sustainable Construction are conferred every three years for progressive projects. This book presents the entries to the first competition cycle, which began in No- vember 2004 and ended in April 2006. It also documents movements and trends in sustainable construction – regionally and globally.

To accomplish Holcim Awards this objective, the Holcim Awards were established to honor innovative work Markus Akermann and Rolf Soiron in fields pertaining to the built environ- ment. The competition intends to foster experimental modes of practice that accelerate momentum toward a more equitable human condition worldwide. Awards are an effective way to en- courage and inspire achievements that go beyond convention. The competition was organized in two successive phases. The first phase started in 2004 and was held in the five geographic regions Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa Middle East and Asia Pacific. The second phase 8 was global in scope.

To make sustainable construction more accessible, the Holcim Foundation developed a five-point definition. These so-called target issues serve as yardsticks to measure the degree to which a structure contributes to sustainable develop- ment. The independent juries of the Holcim Awards used these criteria to evaluate the competition entries. 10 Quantum change and transferability The project must demonstrate innovation at the forefront of sustainable construction, a quantum leap in comparison to conventional procedures. Breakthroughs and trend-setting approaches, regardless of scale, must be transferable to a range of other applications. Ethical standards and social equity The project must adhere to the highest ethical standards and support social equity at all stages of construction, from planning and building processes to long-term impact on the communal fabric. The project is to provide an advanced response vis-à-vis ethical and social responsibility. Ecological quality and energy conservation The project must exhibit a sensible use and management of natural resources throughout its life cycle, including operation and maintenance. Long-term environmental concerns, whether pertaining to flows of material or energy, should be an integral part of the built entity. Economic performance and compatibility The project must prove to be economically feasible and innovative as to the deployment of financial resources. Funding must promote an economy of means and be compatible with the demands and constraints encountered throughout the construction’s life span. Contextual and aesthetic impact The project must convey a high standard of architectural quality as to the manner in which it addresses its cultural and physical context. With space and form of utmost significance, the construction must have a lasting aesthetic impact on its surrounding environment. 11

The Group has solutions and services in cement, concrete, and aggregates for the following businesses: buildings, infrastructure, distribution, oil and gas, affordable housing, and construction systems. Cement is manufactured through a large-scale, capital-and-energy-intensive process. At the core of the production process is a rotary kiln, in which limestone and clay are heated to approximately 1,450 degrees Celsius. The semi-finished product, clinker, is created by sintering. In the cement mill, gypsum is added to the clinker and the mixture is ground to a fine powder – traditional Portland cement. Other high-grade materials such as granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, pozzolan, and limestone can be added in order to modify the properties of the cement for special uses or specific application. Aggregates include crushed stone, gravel, and sand. They can also be recycled from concrete wastes.
