CEMEX has named the 26 finalists that will participate in the International Edition of the 2022 CEMEX Building Award.
The competition recognises the best construction projects around the world for their creative and innovative use of concrete.
This year the competition features architecture and infrastructure projects from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, France, Jamaica, Mexico, Montenegro, Panama, Poland, the Philippines, and Spain.
The building materials giant’s CEO Fernando González said: “”We are very excited to recognise our customer’s contributions to innovative and sustainable construction, live and in person for the first time since 2019.
“It is essential to remain close to our customers and provide a space to showcase the best in global construction.”
The competition is divided into 5 categories: Building, Collective Space, Infrastructure, Residential Housing, and Social Housing.
The finalist projects can also win one of the four Special Awards focused on environmental preservation and social impact: Innovation in Construction, Social Value, Sustainable Building, and Universal Accessibility.
An international jury of 14 members from the construction industry met in June to select the finalists from a pool of 433 entries.
After two years of staging the event virtually, this year’s ceremony will be held in person in Mexico City on November 3. It will also be broadcast on the Building Awards official webpage starting at 7:30 pm (CDT).
