In February 2025, the American Institute of Iron and Steel Construction (AISC) announced its list of "Five Steel Structures to Watch," projects that demonstrate excellence in innovation in engineering and construction. The five winning structures receive AISC’s prestigious IDEAS2 awards, which recognize works that achieve excellence in steel structure design, functionality and aesthetics. AISC emphasizes that these projects are not only technically advanced, they also have the courage to break the mold in terms of creative design, proving that structural steel remains a versatile and forward-looking material in modern construction. For an independent site focused on industrial insights, these award-winning structures provide rich content: you can highlight them in case study-style articles that highlight how steel can both enable bold design and ensure structural performance.
