Deutscher Stahlbaupreis
The German steel construction prize, awarded every two years for buildings in steel.
The prize is awarded by the German steel construction association for buildings that use steel in a way that is both technically and architecturally convincing.
It covers buildings and bridges alike, so a winner is not necessarily a building.
The use of steel is considered as part of the architectural solution. A technically successful member or connection is assessed in the context of the completed structure rather than as an isolated manufactured product.
