The Irish Concrete Society organizes an annual Awards Scheme for excellence in design and construction in concrete. This
enables the Society to acknowledge outstanding achievements in which concrete in
any form contributes to the built environment. Entries relating to the
contribution made by concrete to any aspect of building, civil engineering,
architecture, art or landscaping will be accepted by the Society. The Award
Scheme, which began in 1979, is now well established and attracts a wide range
of entries from both large and small projects alike.
Entries are sub-divided into three categories:
-
Building
-
Infrastructural
-
Elemental
The Society also presents a sculptural award, for innovative use of concrete as a medium of expression and a student award for excellence in concrete research.
This year, the Society will also present an award for Structures which grow old gracefully.
Entry to the 2011/2012 awards is now closed. Winners will be announced at the Concrete Society Awards Event planned for March 2012.
