Building with sense and sensitivity: Switzerland and Liechtenstein are offering a prize of 50,000 euros for sustainably renovated and newly constructed buildings in the Alps.
How can aesthetic living in the Alps be combined with caring for nature? The “Constructive Alps” architecture prize, offered by the Swiss and Liechtenstein government, intends to provide the answers. The search is on for new and sustainably renovated structures – in industry, private or communal residential buildings, and public buildings – completed in the Alps. 

The aim of the prize is to present the Alps as a model region for climate protection issues and to implement the climate action plan agreed upon by the Alpine states in 2009. Liechtenstein was the first to offer and support an Alpine-wide architectural prize for sustainable building and renovation in 2011. CIPRA has supported the installment of the “Constructive Alps” project since the beginning.
