Today, drywall and gypsum-based systems are currently present in almost all architectural works. These allow you to coat buildings with products that combine, among other attributes, construction ease, fire safety and the possibility of recycling, both in historic structures or completely new constructions. Since 1998, Saint-Gobain – one of the largest distributors of these types of systems – has awarded the projects that best apply them in their solutions, dividing them into 6 categories (Ceilings, Plaster, Plasterboard, Innovation & Sustainability, Residential, and Non-Residential). The submitted projects are meant to demonstrate how the architects managed to ingeniously unite the company’s products with innovative solutions to overcome each of the difficulties that the works or contexts impose.
In its 12th edition, participants came from 30 different countries and showcased 74 projects. See the 14 awardees below:
