We were able to win over an outstanding architect for the award ceremony of the Concrete Award 2025: Stephan Schütz, Executive Partner at gmp.

The winners have not yet been announced - but the date for the big award ceremony has! The Concrete Award 2025 will be presented in Zurich on June 12, 2025. The best projects in the building construction and infrastructure categories will be honored. If you want to be there, you should reserve the date now.

The jury for the Concrete Architecture Prize consists of nine outstanding experts who, as practitioners and academics, cover the entire spectrum of building culture - from architecture and urban planning to materials science and engineering. Jury President Prof. Dr. Jacqueline Pauli studied civil engineering at EPF Lausanne and ETH Zurich and has worked at ZPF Ingenieure since 2013. She has headed ZPF Consulting AG in Zurich since 2020 and was appointed Professor of Structural Design at the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich in 2022.

The renowned architecture prize, which has been awarded every four years since 1977, presents itself in a new guise in its 13th edition. With a comprehensive reorientation, current developments and trends in building culture are to be given greater consideration.

As part of the BETON 21 architecture prize, in which Bearth & Deplazes won with the Bernina Pass maintenance base project, we spoke to Andrea Deplazes about his profound views on architecture. Already active as jury president in 2009, Andrea Deplazes emphasizes the importance of grasping a design in all its depth and appreciating it as a dialectical synthesis of the arts - both as an exemplary case study and as a unique object.
