The selection of award winners followed the established ritual of ARCHITECTS' DARLING®

As part of the largest industry survey on building products, around 1,800 architects were invited to name what they considered to be the most outstanding achievements of German building materials manufacturers. Additionally, a panel of experts consisting of renowned representatives from international architecture firms was asked to critically assess the manufacturers' product ranges, market presence and service portfolios.

On 9 November 2021, the winners and top performers in a total of 24 product categories were honoured at a festive award ceremony, where 14 Jury Awards were also presented. Alexander Geissels, Head of Marketing Communications at RIGIPS, was particularly pleased to receive the bronze award in the "Sound Insulation" category: "Sound insulation is and remains one of the most challenging disciplines in the design and construction of residential and non-residential buildings. We are proud that planning experts in many German architecture firms recognise drywall as a decisive method for achieving ambitious sound insulation goals and rely particularly on the expertise of RIGIPS. This recognition also motivates us to qualify for the next ARCHITECTS' DARLING® competition in 2022 through our daily consulting services."
