📍 Venue: GaLaBau Experten Forum, Hall 3A, Stand 111 — GaLaBau, Nuremberg (Germany)
Theme: Green Transformation
For this edition ELCA’s French national member Unep was asked to select project nominations in the category “Green Transformation”. Unep presented five unique and very interesting projects to the Trend Award jury. During site visits, the jury assessed amongst others the design of the project, the quality of realisation according to the design, the choice of planting material, the sustainability of the applied materials, the cooperation between project partners during the realisation of the project, the state of the maintenance and the interaction with the client and project users.
The nominated projects show how green solutions become the carrier for the redevelopment of the area and how green solutions are prioritized in the planning and design process — a new dimension in the profession’s expertise.
