Atelier TEKUTO’s work “R・Torso・C “ won the OVERALL EXCELLENCE AWARD and first place in the Low Rise Buildings Category in 2017 Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards, hosted by ACI (American Concrete Institute) .
The acknowledgement of eco-friendly, sustainable SHIRASU CONCRETE, developed together with Prof. Noguchi of Tokyo University and structural engineer Jun Sato, along with other collaborators, is a great honor. We hope that it will bring much-needed attention to the depletion of natural resources for concrete.

R・torso・C was shortlisted in 2016 WAN Concrete Award

R・torso・C was shortlisted in 2016 WAN Concrete Award.

“This year’s panel were: Chiaki Arai, Founder of Chiaki Arai Urban & Architecture Design, Jason Parker, Partner at Make Architects, Elaine Toogood, Senior Architect at The Concrete Centre and Simon Anson, Architect and Associate at Arup.
Once the jury had selected the six shortlisted projects it became very apparent that more than one winner would be named. The projects have very different qualities, but are both fine examples of fantastic use of concrete in architecture.”
Although we did not win the final, we are delighted that our work towards the environment is recognized in the international concrete award.
