The EUmies Prize, founded in 1988 in Barcelona, is recognized as one of the most important and prestigious architecture awards in the world. It is promoted by the Creative Europe program and organized by the Mies van der Rohe Foundation, celebrating
excellence in architectural works throughout Europe.
The award highlights the contribution of quality architecture to sustainable development and the well-being of citizens.
EUmies 2024
"Society often underestimates the impact that well-designed architecture can have on many levels. Therefore, promoting how architecture operates is an essential part of architectural communication—that is, explaining the multiple forms it can take and how architectural thinking can contribute to solving many complex problems. This is what this selection expresses."
This was one of the reflections made by the members of the EUmies Awards 2024 jury regarding the role of contemporary architecture in our current world and which is manifested through the selection of works presented in this exhibition.
After an intense trip through Europe and many hours of discussion, Frédéric Druot, Martin Braathen, Sala Makumbundu, Adriana Krnáčová, Hrvoje Njiric, Tinatin Gurgenidze and Pippo Ciorra selected the group of 40 works, among which the finalists and winners presented at the 14th International Architecture Biennial of São Paulo stand out.
