Art on the Construction Site

STRABAG Annual Report 2018

Three posters lean against a concrete wall; left gray with red DIE KUNST DES BAUENS, center grid with pink lamp, right white with red NEW NOW.

Besides economic, ecological, and social responsibility, cultural engagement is firmly anchored in the corporate philosophy of STRABAG SE.

With this in mind, it seemed only appropriate to take the artworks distinguished with the »STRABAG Werte Award « and place them on building sites. At STRABAG the world of construction and the world of art go hand-in-hand. And art belongs to life – so each annual report is accompanied with one of three limited editions by the award-winning artists.

Visual concept and photography by Bernd Preiml.
