3rd edition

The jury of renowned international architects met in March to select the winners. Fifteen creations were chosen with one winner per category and one or two special awards. Three special prizes for Innovation, Technical Performance and Environment were also awarded to 3 projects selected from all the categories.

The winners received an artistic work made of zinc, the ARCHIZINC TROPHY.

80,000 copies of this Special Issue will be published in October 2008 and distributed in ten countries, expressing the vision, architecture and material of the fifteen winning projects, and offering an opportunity to each architect to present his/her philosophy worldwide.

This 3rd edition of the ARCHIZINC TROPHY, demonstrates the strong ties between VM ZINC® and architects, between the actors in the building industry and zinc as a building material.
