AMA recognises the importance of our living environment and the urgent need for sustainable practices in response to climate change and growing environmental challenges. In line with its mission to foster a greener future, AMA promotes innovation in sustainable and environmentally conscious construction, with a special focus on lightweight and membrane structures.
These advanced structures, often made with high-performance fabrics and foils, combine efficiency and durability with notable environmental benefits, including reduced energy consumption, lower transportation requirements, recyclability, and long-term material conservation.
The AMA AWArd 2025 celebrates outstanding contributions that push the boundaries of sustainability in Ideas & design or projects & products. This year’s edition features two dedicated categories, encouraging participation from both emerging talent and established industry leaders.
Deadline: Sunday, 19th October, 2025
Award ceremony: 10th November, 2025
