Europe\'s Best Buildings
The European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture. Mies van der Rohe Award 2011

Date: Jul 19 to Oct 8, daily 10:00-19:00
Venue: rchitekturzentrum Wien, Old hall
Opening: Wed, Jul 18, 19:00
Tickets: € 7 / € 4.50 reduced

The Mies van der Rohe Award, one of the most significant and prestigous prizes for architecture in Europe, is a shared initiative between the European Commission and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe - Barcelona. The prize, worth a total of €80,000.- (main prize: €60,000.- / Special Mention prize: €20,000.-), is awarded every two years.

The key aim is to provide recognition and critical acclaim for exceptional achievements in the field of architecture within the European Union. Projects are awarded prizes whose innovative character serves as orientation, even as manifestos, for the development of contemporary architecture. The prize is intended to promote the profession and as encouragement for young architects at the outset of their careers. Both prizes, the main prize and the Special Mention, are awarded for exceptional achievements in conceptual, technical and structural terms.

Six finalists were selected from the 340 projects nominated by European experts - the eminent members of the jury were ultimately most convinced by the Neue Museum Berlin by David Chipperfield Architects. Special Mention for the Emerging Architect 2011 went to Ramon Bisch and Bet Capdeferro for Collage House in Girona. A total of about 45 buildings from all over Europe are on display in the form of plans, photographs and, in particular, numerous models.

A catologue is to be presented at the exhibition showing the works selected by the jury: the prize-winners, Special Mention winners, finalists and shortlisted projects.
