Jana Revedin

Jana Revedin is a German architect and a prominent advocate for sustainable architecture, best known for founding the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture (GASA) in 2006. Her initiative aims to recognize and promote environmentally responsible architectural practices, countering the trend of grandiose and ecologically harmful constructions, particularly in rapidly developing regions like China during the Olympic preparations. Revedin emphasizes that sustainable architecture is not merely a stylistic choice but rather a deep-rooted belief and methodology that varies according to regional climatic challenges and available materials. Her work seeks to raise awareness and celebrate both emerging talents and seasoned professionals in the field.
