2008 edition

This edition of the Prize attracted entrants from 11 countries.
This confirmed the wide international reputation and growing interest for these

awards.
Entries included an increasingly diverse range of architectural projects: from
new buildings to renovations, from private to public construction, from leisure
to industrial sites.

The need to select 5 winning projects and 5 special mentions was due to the
high standard of the works presented and to the fact that none of the projects
stood out from the others as they all represented excellent solutions able to
synthesize the complexity and diversity that characterizes the sustainability
issue.

For this reason, the jury deemed it appropriate to award the prize to several
works which, as a whole, emphasize the diversity of the project themes and
singularly, represent for each case the most suitable solution, showing how each
project requires a customized approach.
This is also expressed in the report  “All projects have, among their characteristics,

pioneering aspects”.
