2024 Collaborators
The European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture / Mies van der Rohe Awards is possible because of the confidence and the support of the European Commission – Creative Europe programme – and the Barcelona City Council – Ecology, Urban Planning and Mobility-Architecture, Landscape and Heritage. For 38 years they have been travelling partners in the construction of this cross-cutting project.
We are truly thankful to Mrs. Iliana Ivanova, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Mrs. Pia Ahrenkilde Hansen, Directorate- General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture – European Commission, Mrs. Sabine Verheyen, Member of the European Parliament, Chairwoman of the Committee on Culture and Education, Mr. Jaume Collboni, Mayor of Barcelona and Mrs. Laia Bonet, President of Fundació Mies van der Rohe.
We would like to thank the people who saw us through the whole 2024 process; to all those who provided support, talked things over, read, wrote, offered comments, allowed us to quote their remarks and assisted in the filming, writing, editing, proofreading and design.
We would like to express our gratitude to those who stand with us day after day and who have supported and encouraged us despite all the time it took us away from them.
A special gratitude to the jury members with whom we have had many intense discussions throughout our many days together: Frédéric Druot, Paris/Bordeaux, Martin Braathen, Oslo, Pippo Ciorra, Rome, Tinatin Gurgenidze, Tbilisi/Berlin, Adriana Krnáčová, Prague, Sala Makumbundu, Luxembourg, Hrvoje Njiric, Zagreb.
