Created by the DuPont de Nemours company, this annual awards programme, rewards the authors of exemplary and innovative architectural designs using laminated glass as a major element of the project. The awards are named Benedictus as a tribute to the scientist of this name who invented laminated glass.
Launched for the first time during the UIA Congress in 1993, this programme is approved by the International Union of Architects (UIA). It is organised under the auspices of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
Since its creation, the Benedictus Awards Programme has highlighted a series of exemplary buildings, unanimously recognised by professionals and critics worldwide.
