In its sixth edition, the Erich Mendelsohn Brick Architecture Award—organized triennially since 2008 by the Bauen mit Backstein Initiative—seeks to recognize and highlight the finest brick buildings. The award's primary goal is to identify and honor the most outstanding projects across four categories, presenting them to the general public. The competition invites architects and planners to showcase the architectural potential of this material, which is both traditional and innovative. The result is high-profile, intensive public relations for one of Germany's most prestigious architectural awards.
In this edition, the Jojutla Central Gardens project by Estudio MMX has been awarded the Gold Medal. The project sought to reconstruct the identity of the urban space following the September 2017 earthquakes in Mexico through a series of brick arches that unfold to frame the public square.
