13 Croatian Nominees for the Mies van de Rohe Award

13/12/2018

The European Commission and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe announced on December 11 the list of nominated works for the 2019 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award: 383 works from 238 cities in 38 countries have been nominated by 76 independent experts, the national architecture associations and the Prize Advisory Committee.

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.

Architecture's significance —linked with the construction market— has a social Impact and transmits a cultural message. Quality therefore refers to universal values of generic buildings, independent from their programmes: the essence of things rather than their formal values.
