The Czech Chamber of Authorized Engineers and Technicians, which covers more than thirty thousand people, is also the announcer of the Engineering Chamber Award – a competition in which engineering construction and designs participate. In this year’s edition, the jury chose from a total of twenty-eight submitted realizations and proposals, which took it to various corners of the country. The award for the year 2021 was won by five realizations that combine the innovative use of technological buildings, an inventive approach to historical heritage or the sensitive design of public and transport buildings, minimizing the impact on the environment.
“The five selected winners, in addition to the special jury award and the public award, to a large extent anticipate the possible development of the entire construction industry. In the coming years, even with regard to the economic situation, this will probably be characterized by key infrastructure buildings,” commented Robert Špalek, chairman of ČKAIT, on the results.
