[9] Before, in 1991, the then 31-year-old Ingenhoven received a great deal of attention when he and his team competed in the international competition for the Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt and shared jury prize with Norman Foster. The fact that Foster was commissioned to build the skyscraper prompted Frei Otto to make a public statement in which he spoke out in favor of the young German architect's design. [10] [11]

Christoph Ingenhoven pursues an approach to sustainable architecture that strives for the highest ecological, architectural and artistic goals. The structural designs provide for the use of natural resources such as sunlight, geothermal energy, rainwater and air conditioning through natural ventilation and are adapted to the surrounding (urban) landscape as site-specifically as possible. [13] [14] Ingenhoven calls his concept of holistic, interdisciplinary, sustainable architecture supergreen. In addition to the ecological aspects, the supergreen concept also includes social and humanistic aspects. [15] [16] [17]
Christoph Ingenhoven's works received numerous national and international awards and recognitions, including the Holcim Awards for Sustainable Construction Gold for Stuttgart Main Station and the International High-Rise Award for 1 Bligh in Sydney. [18] [19] His projects have received several MIPIM and WAF awards, e.g. the Lanserhof Sylt won both in 2023. [20] [21]

The German structural engineer and architect Werner Sobek delivered the laudatory speech at the award ceremony in Dresden. [23] In 2023, Christoph Ingenhoven will be awarded the Golden Flower, Germany's oldest environmental prize, which has been awarded biennally since 1967. [24]
