The GCO distinction is given to bachelor's, master's and semester projects that deal in an exemplary way with the management and conservation of existing structures.
Applications are open until 15.02.2023.
The GCO, specialist group for the conservation of structures (SIA), awards this prize each year on the basis of the applications received.
In addition to a thoughtful reflection on the existing structure, the work must clearly present the resulting proposals for solutions. New buildings may also be considered, provided that they offer possibilities for future renovation as an integral part of the life cycle of the building and are represented as such.
