Special: European Steel Design Awards 2021

Steel is recognized for its high potential in terms of strength, durability, design flexibility, adaptability, recyclability and reusability. Today’s steel structures allow the best adaptation to modern life and renovation of historical elements of our built environment,   being in cities or countryside. Steel is also the perfect material for reaching a circular economy while leaving the necessary room for creativity in design.

The European Steel Design Awards (ESDA) are given by the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) every two years to encourage the creative and outstanding use of steel in architecture and construction. The awards are dedicated to the owner, the general contractor, the architects, the engineers and the steelwork contractors of each project. An ECCS International Jury will select the projects to be awarded in all categories, except for the Public Award, which will be selected by public vote online. The Special European Steel Design Awards 2021 is a special issue of Steel Construction and is expected to be published by Ernst & Sohn in November 2021.
