DEAR ARCHITECTS,
When innovative building solutions and unparalleled creativity meet, truly astonishing pro-
jects are created. Buildings that immediately catch our attention, amaze at first sight, and
leave an impression – that is the ultimate achievement for any architect, whatever the
purpose of the project.
Feeling at home in a single-family house, living together in an apartment building, working 09
together in the office, sharing a public space, new ways of thinking, and unleashing innova-
tive potential – great ideas can be implemented across every category of architecture. And
yet, it remains essential to recognise the importance of making buildings “liveable” for their
occupants – of creating living spaces that make you feel good and that last for generations.
Whatever the project, it is essential to choose the most suitable building materials. Bricks
are versatile, natural, and sustainable, as well as technologically sophisticated and innova-
tive. They remain as attractive today as ever before, and they boost creativity.
On the occasion of the eighth Wienerberger Brick Award, I recognise the high quality of the
brick architecture projects submitted from all over the world. I would like to thank all the archi-
tects involved: With your future-oriented concepts, you are creating stunning living spaces.
You are meeting the architectural challenges of the future with new ideas and the courage to
explore new avenues. We are putting the spotlight on your work – to inspire others!
I trust you will enjoy reading this edition, and I am already looking forward to your submis- 06
sions for the Wienerberger Brick Award 2020!
Enjoy reading!
