The nominees and winners of brick manufacturer Wienerberger AG's annual award for international brick architecture. Bricks - blocks of fired clay - are known to be used for the construction of building since around 2800 BCE. Highly appreciated as ever throughout well over four millennia, this immensely versatile and sustainable building material continues to be used today for an almost unlimited range of applications in construction.

Since 2004, Wienerberger, the world's largest manufacturer of bricks and other clay building materials, biannually presents the international Brick Award as a scene for outstanding achievements in brick architecture.
