The European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award is granted on a biennial basis by the European Commission and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe of Barcelona.
In addition to its express goal of recognising excellence in conceptual and technical terms, much of the significance of the prize has to do with the fact that rather than being exclusively an event that happens every two years, it is a process of intense professional collaboration that begins long before the jury decisions are made and extends long after the granting ceremony is held in the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona.
The award process culminates in a traveling exhibition and the publication of a catalogue that features the works chosen by the jury for the prize and the emerging architect special mention as well as a selection of exemplary works.
