The competition attracted the attention of 2,380 applicants from 114 countries, with 500 projects meeting the rigorous entry criteria. Five projects, each representing a specific region of the world, were honored with the Gold award, giving them a total of US$100,000 each. Among these, “Composition of Knowledge House” stood out as a flagship project that embodies the values of sustainable construction.<\/p>\n

Basics for a Golden Prize HOLCIM<\/span><\/h2>\n

The European-wide winning project led by the team of HUSOS<\/strong><\/a>, ELII<\/strong><\/a>, and Ultrazul, transforms a former industrial building into a vibrant community center. What distinguishes “Composition of Knowledge House” is its 360\u00b0 co-design approach, which goes beyond mere architectural renovation. This project embraces the circularity of materials while driving urban biodiversity. It thus sets a remarkable standard for the sustainable <\/strong><\/a>transformation of the built environment.<\/p>\n

The building’s facade solution was the result of Grupo GUBIA’s consultancy<\/strong><\/a>. It is a three-dimensional facade that we managed to modularize and optimize at the level of wood section. We chose chestnut laminated timber as the first option, using wood-wood joints in their meetings and stainless steel anchors to the existing structure. This facade becomes a prelude to a very interesting rehabilitation. We are very proud to have been part of its design in terms of wood facade<\/strong><\/a> construction solutions and thus have contributed to the sustainable objective advocated by the project in its entirety.<\/p>\n

The “El 17<\/strong><\/a>” project and the other winners of the HOLCIM Awards 2023 Gold Prize not only represent exceptional architectural achievements, but also serve as inspiration for a future where sustainability and innovation are central to the construction of the built environment.<\/p>\n
