Europe’s best Buildings

The EU Mies Award, endowed with 80,000 euros in prize money, is the most important European architecture prize. The accompanying exhibition is a seismograph for architectural developments in Europe and this year focuses on circular construction, existing buildings, and public open spaces.

Every two years, the Europe’s Best Buildings exhibition highlights outstanding architectural projects from Europe and has become a veritable crowd puller. In 2024, the main award will once again go to an educational building: The Study Pavilion on the Technical University of Braunschweig campus by Gustav Düsing and Max Hacke offers a flexible and innovative learning environment. The winning project of the “Emerging Architecture 2024” young talent award is the Gabriel García Márquez Library in Barcelona by SUMA Arquitectura (Elena Orte and Guillermo Sevillano). Out of the 362 nominated projects from 38 countries, a total of 40 projects were selected for the exhibition by the prominent jury chaired by the French architect Frédéric Druot, including two projects from Austria: the Neubaugasse Townhouse in Vienna by PSLA Architekten and IKEA Wien Westbahnhof by querkraft architekten.
