September 2023, Gold medal for Hirtenweg

This year the International Prize for Sustainable Architecture has reached its fifteenth edition and dozens of projects from various European and non-European countries have taken part in the initiative. The event conceived and promoted in 2003 by University of Ferrara Department of Architecture and Fassa Bortolo company on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of its foundation, created for the purpose of rewarding and making known to the broad public architecture that is able to interact with the environment in a balanced way, designed for human needs and able to satisfy the necessities of our generation without compromising, through indiscriminate consumption of resources and the resulting pollution, those of future generations.
The initiative annually alternates a section reserved for degree, master's and doctoral theses, and another dedicated instead (as this year) to built works designed by professionals.
The commission, chaired by Professor Thomas Herzog (President Emeritus, Thomas Herzog Architekten, Munich - Germany) and Marianne Burkhalter (Atelier Burkhalter Sumi - Zurich), was made up of Roman Cordero (PLUG Architecture – Merida, Mexico), Vladimir Slapeta (Brno University of Technology) and Luca Rossato (Architecture’s Department of University of Ferrara).
