In 2021, BUILT CoLAB, the AEC Cluster and PTPC – Portuguese Technological Platform for Construction joined this initiative, with the aim of promoting good practices and raising awareness of the industry and public administration for the need of digital transition in construction.
The jury was composed of representatives from leading institutions in the AEC Sector: Claúdia Antunes (Portuguese Architects’ Association), Fernando Pinho (Order of Engineers), Francisco Teixeira Bastos (Instituto Superior Técnico), Miguel Azenha (University of Minho), Paula Couto (National Laboratory of Civil Engineering) and Rita Moura (AEC Cluster/PTPC).
