Rau transformed a former 1950’s agricultural laboratory into the first CO2 neu-
tral and (almost entirely) energy autonomous office in the Netherlands. By break-
ing through the rigidity of the existing structure and adding an organic blob at
the centre, the rejuvenated building got a friendly appearance that blends in with
the surrounding nature reserve.
Rau’s intervention did not only give the building a new face, but fundamentally
changed the user experience. Natural ventilation and the use of natural materials
offer a balanced and healthy indoor environment.
DESIGN AWARD
SUSTAINABLE BUILDING
OUTSTANDING
It is not often that so many qualities converge to award a first prize as is the case
now: The team of architects and their long commitment to sustainability, the
customer and his pioneering effort towards nature preservation, the commission
itself and the decision to maintain a previous building that would be recycled
into a new one with substantial reforms to achieve a balance with the environ-
ment as is achieved here.

Wikado is a design for a playground in Rotterdam made out of windmill pieces.

Five (discarded) rotor blades are used to create a maze-like space with a panna
–a type of ball game– court in the centre, placed on the existing concrete circle.
Four towers are placed around it, each with a distinctive character. Between the
towers there hangs a net which works as a climbing structure, but also prevents
balls from ending up in the neighbours’ gardens.
DESIGN AWARD
MERIT
Holland is a country in which the design of urban areas for children’s games
has a long tradition linked to both social and plastic art experimentation. So
the 2012Architecten proposal to use for one of them recycled pieces from wind-
power generators comes as no surprise. The outcome is both novel and stimulat-
ing. A path that is beginning to be used and that is offered here as an example of
great formal and creative value.

The desire to reproduce the space of a forest, or of a group of bamboos on a

layer of water, has formed the subconscious basis of the project. On the one
hand there is the creation of a mechanism able to generate extraordinary pos-
sibilities from the point of view of energy logic and environmental awareness,
an essential and symbolic aspect for the Spanish Pavilion. On the other hand,
one of the most attractive spaces one may encounter is transferred to the field
of architecture.
Changing spaces, full of hints and nuances, in which concepts such as vertical-
ity and depth play an essential role.
DESIGN AWARD
MERIT
Spain’s Pavilion at the Zaragoza World Expo 2008 is one of the buildings that
has received most awards in the last few years. Nevertheless, we did not wish to
fail to highlight here how its formal values have come to the service of ideas of
sustainability and respect for the environment. An example to follow and one
that opens up paths to dispel the misconception that plastic art and environmen-
tal creativity cannot go hand in hand along the same path.

W+W combines functionality and water-saving benefits fusing Washbasin and

WC.
The project W+W intends to fuse both appliances.
Through the new Roca “water-reuse” technology, washbasin waste water fills
the toilet cistern, reducing water usage by up to 25% compared with the stand-
ard toilet. An automatic cleaning system avoids bad smells and flushing bacteria
into the cistern.
W+W is the choice when sustainability and good design are top priorities.
DESIGN AWARD

MERIT
An interesting product joining excellent execution quality and a smart solution
to re-use washbasin water in the toilet cistern. Roca has managed to tune in
with the increasing environmental awareness of Northern European markets
by providing a very interesting solution, which, no doubt, will influence future
conceptualisations for this type of product.

Three international multi-language editions of The Eco-Design Handbook

(2002, 2004 and 2009) have become a benchmark for celebrating the global
state of the art of eco-design.
Each edition has documented the leading designers, designer-makers and man-

expectations of consumers for fresh aesthetics, functionality and responsibility.
Clear for all to see are the legion opportunities to design a better, more equable

The Ecodesign Handbook stands out both for the neat design of its edition and
for its content, and is a guide of daily use objects which have been conceived
with environmental protection and user friendly criteria. It covers a list of 570
products, 125 selected materials, information on a great number of designers,
manufacturers and ecology organisations and 140 references to eco-design strat-
egies. Its publication has contributed to the dissemination of ecodesign among
designers and consumers and opened the road for other books and other publi-
cations, and for the spread of opportunities linked to sustainability challenges.

The book Écodesign, Chemins Vertueux draws up a panorama of packaging’s

ecological footprint. It explores the axes of progress inherent to this issue and
offers innovative solutions in packaging ecoconception.
Conceiving packaging that pollutes less all along its life cycle, helps consumers

How much of a letter can be removed while maintaining readability? After long
hours of research and work, the author managed to get a font that uses up to
20% less ink. To do so, extensive tests were carried out, which showed that the
best results were achieved using small circles. The type selected had to be based
on a widely used type face. Therefore the Vera Sans was chosen –a Verdana
look-a-like under GNU license– as the basis of the Ecofont.
A communication website around it was set up which offered the Ecofont
“Free to download, free to use”. Within two months after launch, the font was
downloaded over 700,000 times!
DESIGN AWARD

Ecofont is, first of all, a robust graphic proposal. A type face that keeps its care-
ful, legible stroke in small bodies and large formats.
With this award to Ecofont, we are rewarding an idea’s efficiency. An idea that
shows how some simple actions may translate into significant savings in our
daily habits, a more sound use of raw materials and more rational consumption
of manufactured products.

REINICIA
Reinicia is a project of electronic waste management that provides the citizen

with a collection system for useless devices. Some of these devices can later be
reused in other areas or institutions.
The plug is a symbol that unifies most electronic devices. The name “Reinicia”
provides new life to devices that looked like having a single use.
DESIGN AWARD
MERIT
Reinicia has a great fundamental quality. It says everything it has to say, nothing
else. Neatly and clearly. What comes out of one end of the plug, goes into the
other, restarting the process.
Ecology and communication also means avoiding unnecessary noise.

To make people realize that saving the planet starts with them saving paper, the
authors have used standard public paper dispensers, making a simple modifica-
tion with green paper foil and the silhouette of South America.
This has allowed them to prove that the survival of the forest is directly con-
nected to what people consume in everyday life.
DESIGN AWARD
MERIT
This Paper Dispenser has an innovative design suggesting that saving the planet
is directly connected to individual paper savings. By using a standard paper dis-
penser with a slight modification, green foil and the silhouette of South America,
it manages to challenge people and transmit that the survival of the forests is
directly related to what people consume in their daily lives. This product unites
creativity and the dissemination of the concept of environmental protection.
