EU MIES AWARD 2022
The project La Mejicana has been nominated to the EU Mies Award 2022.
The European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award is a continuous process focused on how architects are thinking and working in Europe today.
The Prize objectives aim at promoting and understanding the significance of quality and reflecting the complexity of Architecture's own significance in terms of technological, constructional, social, economic, cultural and aesthetic achievements.
The Prize has been a collective project from its inception. The organisational network has been growing with each successive edition and includes the collaboration of the institutions that form part of the Advisory Committee, the Architects' Council of Europe (ACE) member associations and other European architects' associations, who are partners in the organisation of the Prize.
