One event that is open to new horizons is the proposal for the twelfth edition of the International Architecture in Stone Award.

Since its creation in 1987, the award has been a fundamental source of inspiration for the world of architecture and design, committed to looking for new directions and experiences in which the use of the specification of stone materials combines consistency and innovation.

 
The 2011 edition of the Award, which has been organised to continue on from the previous edition, by Vincenzo Pavan, was advised by a prestigious international jury of historians, critics and architecture professors.

Jury

• Francesco Dal Co, director of Casabella.

• Thomas Herzog, from the Faculty of Architecture, Monaco.

• Juan José Lahuerta, Faculty of Architecture, Barcelona.

• Alessandro Mendini, architect, designer, artist and theoretician.

• Vincenzo Pavan, Faculty of Architecture of Ferrara.
