The notion of sustainable development is steadily gaining acceptance. Across the globe, sustainability is one of the cornerstones of a new rationalism in the design process.
The purpose of the GLOBAL AWARD FOR SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE is to honour annually a living architect who moves towards sustainability.
The winner will be commissioned to design a building for a new permanent collection of sustainable architecture which the Regional Government of Seine-aval is planning to develop adjacent the Villa Savoye at Poissy (France).
