On July 12, the Aerogel Architecture Award was presented for the fourth time on the Empa campus. A total of six projects were awarded in the categories “Realized Solutions” and “Student Projects”. They all show applications of aerogel materials in architecture and construction projects that enable major savings in terms of heat loss and energy consumption mitigation through minimal intervention in the building fabric and appearance. The winners are a realized building from Italy and a student proposal from Brazil.
