European Award AHI 2025

Architectural Heritage Intervention has announced the seventh edition of the European Award AHI, with registrations open from 18 December 2024 to 21 March 2025. 

The Award, a European benchmark in the field of heritage intervention, stimulates debate on how interventions should be carried out and what should be considered architectural heritage in European cities, especially in light of the challenges posed by the climate emergency and decarbonisation. 

Organised jointly with the Architects’ Association of Catalonia, it is supported by the Government of Catalonia, Barcelona Provincial Council, the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona and Barcelona City Council. 

The heritage dissemination platform Architectural Heritage Intervention and the Architects’ Association of Catalonia have opened the registration for the seventh edition of the European Award AHI. This biennial event, which since 2013 has recognised the best interventions in European heritage across four categories (Built Heritage, Exterior Spaces, Urban Planning and Disclosure), will distinguish works completed between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2024 within the European geographical area. The call is open to all professionals, associations and/or institutions involved in architectural heritage and will remain open until 14 March 2025 at 24:00 (GMT+1). 

The Award has become a benchmark for architectural heritage intervention, as evidenced by the large number of works submitted in each edition, which help shed light on the direction in which Europe is heading in this field. As such, and in the context of the current climate emergency and decarbonisation, the event acts as an observatory of best practices, focusing, among other things, on the ability of projects to incorporate energy efficiency strategies.
