BAM’s Baoshan Sanitation Center has been awarded the Gold Medal in the Environmental category at the 2025 Grands Prix du Design Awards.

The project redefines civic infrastructure, combining advanced waste-to-energy systems with a public landscape that connects the community to its environmental ambitions. By framing energy production within a setting of ecological restoration and public use, the Center challenges conventional perceptions of utility architecture.

The recognition of waste infrastructure in an international design award highlights the urgency of consumption and resource recovery, placing these critical issues within the broader cultural and civic conversation.
