“The development of recent years continues, and the focus remains on resource-efficient construction. This concerns both highly innovative structures as well as those built in the traditional way with local materials and craft techniques. Re-use is just as present as the imaginative use of bricks. This almost playful approach leads to concise, memorable designs. The weighting of the different categories is almost balanced, showing that brick is represented in all building typological areas,” explains Heimo Scheuch, CEO of Wienerberger AG. All 50 nominees can already be found on the Brick Award
