Sonderheft: European Steel Design Awards 2019

As steel is the most important and flexible construction material with various further advantages, it is produced and used in a wide range of products in different qualities. It is the extraordinary, persistent and innate ability of steel to be innovative that enables it to maintain its position as one of the most essential construction materials. Due to its huge potentials to develop products and technologies, steel can be implemented in new spheres of serviceability. Therefore, ECCS brings into focus the actual utilisation of these potentials, frequently gives awards to encourage creative and outstanding use of steel in architecture and construction in Europe. Aim of ECCS is also to make these awards, given since 1997, internationally recognised competitions in the field of steel construction.

Steel structures can be sculptured to almost any shape or form. In other words, an architect can accomplish whatever he or she imagines, by using steel. You will see it in this publication the best of each of the projects selected by the international expert jury, which met in Brussels on 18 June to determine the European Steel Design Awards winners 2019.
