REBUILD 2026 handed out the Advanced Architecture Awards highlighting industrialized, digital and sustainable building models — a snapshot of where construction is heading on net‑zero and wellness criteria. Winners spotlight modular workflows and low‑carbon approaches. (diariodeingenieria.com)
The REBUILD gala where the Advanced Architecture Awards were handed out took place on 25 March 2026 as part of REBUILD 2026 at IFEMA Madrid, which ran 24–26 March and bills itself as Europe’s leading industrialized construction fair. The 2026 awards marked the ninth edition of the programme and attracted more than 300 candidatures, a volume organisers and press described as evidence of a sector-wide push toward industrialization and decarbonisation. Visesa won for a lightweight industrialized façade system explicitly applied to public buildings, a product award highlighted by organisers for its off-site production logic. Zubi Cities received recognition for Madreselva, presented as the first high‑rise residential building in Valencia built in timber, while Peikko Spain was singled out for an innovative office building using CLT structural solutions. The Generalitat de Cataluña was awarded for using BIM to streamline environmental authorisation processes, a digital win the jury credited with reducing procedural times and administrative burden. The sustainability prize went to Infinito Delicias, developed by Husos arquitecturas and Elii, for an "ecosocial" refurbishment strategy that prioritises biomaterials, recycling and on‑site renewable energy integration.
