Global Award for Sustainable Architecture

The unseen challenges facing contemporary societies are being addressed by architects and planners as they search for a new definition of progress and the right balance between man and the environment. The understanding of design as a collectively creative process, yet a scientific and technical expertise has been rewarded since 2007 by the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture™, an honour created by the architect and professor Jana Revedin in partnership with international scientific institutions and the Cité de l ́Architecture of Paris as a cultural partner. The award received the patronage of UNESCO in 2011.

The Global Award for Sustainable Architecture is run by the LOCUS Fund. "LOCUS seeks to identify and reward the most innovative and engaged architects from all corners of the globe and to federate them in participative urban renewal projects in developing countries." The Global Award for Sustainable Architecture is supported by the GDF-Suez Foundation, BOUYGUES Batiment International and the Rexel Foundation.
