MIES VAN DER ROHE AWARD 2015

Description

EU PRIZE FOR CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE – MIES VAN DER R0HE AWARD 2015.

The Philharmonic Hall of Szczecin in Szczecin, Poland by Barozzi / Veiga  is the winner of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – 2015 Mies van der Rohe Award.

The European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award is granted every two years to acknowledge and reward quality architectural production in Europe.

In this way, the Award draws attention to the major contribution by European professionals to the development of new ideas and technologies. At the same time, it offers both individuals and public institutions an opportunity to reach a clearer understanding of the cultural role of architecture in the construction of our cities. Furthermore, the Award sets out to foster architecture in two significant ways: by stimulating greater circulation of professional architects throughout the entire European Union in response to transnational commissions and by supporting young architects as they set off on their careers.
