Recognizing the most Sustainable and Healthy Buildings
Established in 1985, the CONSTRUMAT Awards are held every two years and have consistently recognized excellence in architectural and engineering works and projects. Throughout their history, they have highlighted environmentally friendly construction, the transversality of professional services, and innovation through research into construction systems and new materials.
Forty years after their inception, the CONSTRUMAT Awards continue to honour the contributions of professional teams, individuals and companies —including consultants, developers, industrialists, and clients—whose projects support the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) to implement the 2030 Agenda, turning them into reference works for future strategic initiatives.
Procedure and Categories
The CONSTRUMAT Awards focus on environmental SUSTAINABILITY and, more specifically in this year, on HEALTHY ARCHITECTURE. As with the previous edition, and due to the award’s specialized nature, an expert committee has been established to nominate a selection of relevant projects in this field. These projects highlight the principles and professional commitment to constructing and creating sustainable, efficient, healthy, and affordable environments and spaces that foster the well-being of both people and the planet.
Two PRIZES will be awarded among the nominated works by the expert committee:
Prize to the winning proposal chosen by a qualified jury.
Prize to the work selected by public vot.
The jury
The jury responsible for selecting the winning work is comprised of three members with recognized professional and/or academic backgrounds in the field of practice and research in sustainable architecture.

Expert Committee
The scientific committee is composed of representatives from international institutions, associations or groups specialized in the research, practice, and promotion of SUSTAINABILITY in architecture, as well as related and inherent themes and specializations: healthy architecture, bioclimatic, passive, green construction, environmental development, energy efficiency, etc.
The committee’s knowledge and experience are essential to ensuring the rigor and quality of the nominated works, as well as to justify and establish the insights that must define the Awards.
L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui (‘A’A’)
L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui (‘A’A’), founded in 1930, is the oldest French architecture magazine. It’s a bilingual French-English journal and distributed worldwide. ‘A’A’ comprehends architecture as the embodiment of cultures in the broadest sense, defining architecture as THE discipline at the forefront of ecological issues. In other words, with six thematic issues per year and as many special issues, ‘A’A’ offers an overview of the ecological question not only from an energy or technical perspective, but also from a social and cultural one through emblematic and manifest architectures and buildings.
