About The Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize⁠
Founded in 2012 in Chicago, the award recognizes excellence in built works of architecture in the Americas. Architectural prizes are generally awarded to those that achieve design excellence. The Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize defines excellence more widely, through design’s essential connections to the communities and ecologies of our changing world. ⁠
