The objective of the Wienerberger Brick Award is to provide a forum for architects from all over the world to present new design concepts and innovative architecture using ceramic materials to a broad public. Besides promoting and rewarding outstanding achievements in architecture, the Wienerberger Brick Award is also intended to create awareness for quality in building construction and to contribute to the increased use of sustainable ceramic building materials.
