In the 14. “Polish Cement in Architecture” competition, the jury awarded two equal main prizes for the best implementation using reinforced concrete technology. One of them was awarded to the construction of Budimex – the building of the District Court in Katowice.

The jury of the competition decided that the building fully used the possibilities created by modern technologies of shaping concrete. The competition has been organized since 1997 by the Cement Producers Association in cooperation with the Association of Polish Architects. The aim of the competition is to show the possibilities of creative use of concrete technology in construction.
