ECCS EUROPEAN STEEL DESIGN AWARDS 2009
The European Steel Design Awards 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 2009 Award winning projects of 18 European countries have been presented to an international audience in Barcelona on September 17th, 2009.
With today’s structural steel framing, grace, art and function can come together in almost limitless ways; it offers new solutions and opportunities, allowing architects to stretch their imagination and actually create some of the challenging structures they have designed in their minds. What was once thought impossible is now a reality. Structural steel’s low cost, strength, durability, design flexibility, adaptability, recyclability and sustainability continue to make it the material of choice in building construction.
