Vienna, April 25, 2025 – The Brick Award is an internationally renowned
architecture prize that honors innovative, inspiring, and outstanding
brick architecture. Independent architectural critics, leading experts,
visionary architects, and pioneering developers are invited to submit
extraordinary and creative buildings and other structures made from
clay-based building materials. In 2026, wienerberger will present the
Brick Award for the twelfth time. The international relevance of the award
is clearly reflected in the impressive number of submissions for the
Brick Award 26: a record-breaking 849 projects from all continents.
Heimo Scheuch, CEO wienerberger, comments: "The Brick Award provides a
platform for excellent brick architecture and honors architects whose
innovative strength results in aesthetic, sustainable, affordable, and
high-quality buildings. Across the globe, visionary architects are
constantly discovering new ways to build in a resource-efficient manner
while ensuring a high quality of life. We created the Brick Award for
them. As wienerberger, we are proud to see this award gaining recognition
on all continents. We look forward to celebrating outstanding projects at
the Brick Award 26 and to inspiring forward-looking architecture
worldwide."
Since it was first introduced in 2004, wienerberger has continuously
developed the Brick Award to reflect current topics and challenges, such
as those relating to sustainability. The award is presented in five
categories: The majority of submissions fall under “Feeling at home”
(28%), followed by “Sharing public spaces” (26%), “Living together” (25%),
and “Working together” (12%). The special category “Building outside the
box” accounts for 9% of all 849 projects.
From all entries, 50 outstanding projects will be nominated for the award.
The selection is made by a jury of internationally renowned architects,
architectural critics, and journalists. Evaluation criteria include
innovative design, architectural concept, sustainability, energy
efficiency, and the creative use of brick as a building material. The use
of wienerberger bricks is not a requirement.
The winners of the Brick Award 26 – one project per category – will be
honored at a festive award ceremony in Vienna in June 2026.
