San Francisco’s tallest affordable housing project, a striking addition to the skyline in Detroit, Michigan and a bridge providing a vital link in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, are just a few of the compelling precast concrete projects that received 2026 PCI Design Awards, presented by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute.
Now in its 63rd year, the PCI Design Awards recognize the most creative and innovative uses of precast concrete. Panels of engineers, architects and precast concrete producers judge all submittals. The buildings and transportation categories are judged on aesthetic, structural and versatility use; site, energy and operational efficiency and risk reduction; and resiliency, such as structure durability, multi-hazard protection and life safety and health.
Several projects are also honored with special awards. These are judged on similar criteria to the building and transportation projects, as well as additional requirements, including industry advancement, sustainable design, technology and designs using all-precast concrete solutions. These are the All-Precast Concrete Solution Award, the Building Information Modeling Award, the Harry H. Edwards Industry Advancement Award and the Sustainable Design Award. New this year, the Structural Innovation Award recognizes a project for its outstanding structural achievement.
Winning projects were recognized during the recent 2026 PCI Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. View this year’s winners and honorable mentions. View past winners.
