In Venice we have just won the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture 2023, under the patronage of UNESCO, for our experimental, art-based approach. We would like to thank all RAAAF's team members and collaborators since the start in 2006!
Jury report "Global Award for Sustainable Architecture 2023, under the patronage of UNESCO
The theme of the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture 2023 is: “Architecture is experimentation.” Experimentation: “the action or process of trying out new ideas, methods, or activities.” Should architecture be an experiment? And if so — and this need is more urgent than ever — how can architects be redefined as long-term explorers, as they were in the time of the Bauhaus
The brothers Ronald and Erik Rietveld (RAAAF), from Amsterdam — one a landscape architect and artist, the other a philosopher — experiment with what already exists in order to give new meaning to our historical contexts."
