The European Commission and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe have announced the 40 shortlisted works for the 2024 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Awards. Selected by the jury comprising 7 members: Frédéric Druot, Martin Braathen, Pippo Ciorra, Tinatin Gurgenidze, Adriana Krnáčová, Sala Makumbundu, and Hrvoje Njiric, from a list of 362 nominees, the projects “are spread out in 38 European Cities in 33 Regions and 20 Countries”, showcasing 14 different programs.
Highlighting todays shared culture of architecture in Europe and creating high-quality living environments for everyone, the EUmies Awards for Architecture and Emerging are granted biennially to works completed within the previous two years. Commenting on the selection, Pippo Ciorra, a member of the jury explains “In most of the projects you can feel that the architects want to express their ideas – architecture is still an art – but at the same time they try to exploit the potential of what architecture can become in a society that is changing in a very radical way. This selection is a faithful picture of what architecture is today in relation to society.”
The finalists will be announced at the beginning of February 2024, while the Architecture and Emerging Winners will be announced mid-April. The EUmies Awards Day including the Awards Ceremony, will take place on May 13/14, 2024, at the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona.
