The prestigious WT award, in its 10th annual edition, recognizes materials, products, and technologies that bring innovation in sustainability, accessibility and quality of life.
LAVA won the award for its Masdar UAE city centre project. LAVA won the international competition to design the centre of the 50,000 person city, parts of which opened last year. The city centre will include a hotel, shopping centre, cinema complex and a conference centred around a plaza of the 21st century.
Solar powered 'sunflower' umbrellas create the first mediated outdoor plaza in the middle east, inhabitable throughout the year. They shade the space, moving with the sun, and store heat and release it at night.

LAVA hopes that ‘One day all cities will be like this’.
LAVA's model of Masdar was on display with other winning designs at Palazzo Isimbardi, Milan.
