About Building Icons
What is a building icon?
Inspirational buildings and other feats of engineering are at the heart of the cities where we live, work, learn and play. These Building Icons showcase the circular, resilient, low-carbon, energy-efficient and smart solutions that will ensure that cities around the world can grow and thrive.
Holcim works to support the decarbonization of the built environment alongside our partners and clients, helping bring these Building Icons to life. We bring added value to these projects with our end-to-end sustainable building solutions.

Why have we created a hub for building icons?
As the global population continues to grow and become increasingly urban, we need to build our cities to support these changes and we need to do so sustainably. Now is the moment to reimagine what building and construction can be.
Through our Building Icons program and this new digital hub, we are bringing together the most innovative projects from the built environment. These buildings and developments are inspiring us, igniting excitement, and driving collaboration across the industry. They are showing us the path to the future – one that is more sustainable, more circular, and more innovative.
At Holcim, we believe that it is our joint responsibility to courageously co-create and innovate. Together we can make a difference for the planet, people, and generations to come. We hope you’ll join us.
What’s next for the Building Icons Digital Hub?
This digital platform will serve as a hub for the Building Icons program. Here, we will provide curated content covering sustainability, innovation and more. We will also share invitations to events, webinars and talks featuring experts from across the industry.
At least once per quarter, we will update this site with new Building Icons case studies, exhibiting the boldest and most innovative residential, industrial and infrastructure projects from around the world.
This hub will serve as an access point where you can get in touch with our experts to discuss the best ways we can support your building solutions needs. If you have anything else you want to share with us, we welcome your feedback.
