Global Award for Sustainable Architecture

The Global Award for Sustainable Architecture was founded in 2006 by architect and scholar Jana Revedin. The Global Award Community, which in 2022 consists of the 75 contemporary architects or architect collectives from around the globe who have previously received the award, works towards a sustainable architectural ethics and fosters research, experimentation, and transmission in the fields of sustainable architecture, urban renewal, and academic social responsibility. It defines architecture as an agent of community empowerment, development and civic rights.

Each year, the award honors five architects who share a common belief in more sustainable development and who have pioneered innovative and holistic approaches in their own communities, in western and emerging countries, in developed cities and precarious districts, in megalopolises, and in the countryside. The Scientific Committee of the Award counts on scholars from the Mimar Sinan University Istanbul, the International Architecture Biennale Ljubljana and the Università Iuav Venice. Since 2010, the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture is put under the high Patronage of UNESCO.[1]

The laureates of the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture are selected by the Global Award Scientific Committee. The 2022 committee includes Jana Revedin, Marie-Hélène Contal, Deniz Inceday, Chris Younés, Spela Hudnik Jacopo Galli and as honorary members two former Global Award laureates, Takaharu Tezuka and Francis Kéré.

Each year, the winners' projects, ideas, and practices are gathered in a book: Sustainable Design, Vers une nouvelle éthique pour l'architecture et la ville / Towards a new ethics for architecture and the city, directed and co-written by Marie-Hélène Contal and Jana Revedin, and coedited by Gallimard Editions Alternatives and the Cité de l'Architecture et du patrimoine. The book number 9 is dedicated to the 2021 Global Awards.[2]
