The 2025 jury
The jury for the Building Component Award comprises highly respected representatives from the Danish construction industry, with a special focus on and an innovative approach to sustainable transformation in construction.
They identify and nominate award recipients who have made a particular effort to highlight the sustainable value creation of building components.
If we want to create real green innovation in construction, it’s imperative that we integrate existing expertise and start building with nature instead of around it.
The story behind the award
The Building Component Award carries on the legacy of the foundations’ founder, Villum Kann Rasmussen, the inventor and entrepreneur whose work demonstrated how technical insight and curiosity in combination with industrial solutions can create real value in the built environment.
