325 submissions from 27 countries
“We launched the Baumit Life Challenge 2014 for the first time in Europe to present the countless, creative possibilities that are available when designing facade surfaces and structures. The growing international interest among architects, investors and fabricators in this award - we already had 325 project submissions this year - has confirmed that we are putting out the Baumit Life Challenge every two years, "says Robert Schmid, Managing Director of Baumit Beteiligungen GmbH about a glamorous evening "in which Europe's construction industry celebrated the winners".
The competition for the European facade 2018
In the competition for the European facade of 2018, significantly more objects were submitted for evaluation than in previous years, exactly 325 objects. At the end of March, the competition entered the decisive phase: the top facades for the shortlist were determined by a top-class jury of experts via online voting. This shortlist consisted of the six best facades in each of the five categories and the special price. The 36 nominees (architects, builders and construction companies) were invited to the Life Challenge Award ceremony on June 14, 2018 in the capital of the Life Challenge winner 2016.
