The European AHI Award recognizes architectural heritage interventions across Europe, presenting awards in early June in Barcelona for projects that demonstrate sustainable practices. This year, it honored six projects, including four first prizes and two special mentions, showcasing contributions from 24 countries. Emphasizing the significance of public administration commissions for these heritage projects reflects their integration into the European public sphere. Since its inception in 2011, the initiative has archived over 1,400 projects, enhancing the platform’s mission to advance sustainable territorial development through heritage.
The European AHI Award recognizes architectural heritage interventions across Europe, highlighting their role as a forward-looking model for 21st-century architecture with tangible social, environmental, and economic benefits.
Established in 2011, the AHI Awards aim to position heritage as both a vital source of knowledge and an important driver of sustainable territorial development.
The organization emphasized that all six awarded projects were commissioned by public administrations: an indicator of the relevance of heritage conservation within the European public sphere.
To date, more than 1,400 projects from 33 European countries have been submitted, all of which are archived in the freely accessible AHI Digital Archive.
