The Collaborative Achievement Award is intended to recognize the teams responsible for project, research, product development, or other advances in facade technology, who have made extraordinary contributions to the art, science and technology of building facade systems through demonstrable, deep collaborative processes.
To be clear, this award need not be related to a specific project but can be for an innovation in a product or process that resulted from the efforts of a team, especially a team represented by stakeholders from diverse fields of experience. This award should exemplify one of the main tenants of the FTI in “breaking down the silos” between those professions involved in the design, procurement and execution of high-performance and sustainable facade systems. Novel submissions are encouraged; any extraordinary team-based contribution is welcome.
Submissions for the Collaborative Achievement Award category will be evaluated in the overarching context of innovation and sustainability, which may include diverse considerations ranging from design concepts to project delivery strategies, supply chain management and lifecycle performance attributes.
The hierarchy of consideration for the Collaborative Achievement Award will be:
10% — Clarity (narrative and graphic representation)
45% — Innovation (alternative or out-of-the-box approaches that fostered the collaborative process)
45% — Sustainability (The extent to which collaboration and collaborative processes among the team demonstrate a definitive role in enhancing resilience and sustainability in the façade industry, buildings and urban habitat.)
