Six finalists of 2018 Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize announced


The competition pool for the 2018 Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize has narrowed down to the final six projects, which were selected from the 31 Outstanding Projects announced back in May. First awarded in 2014, the biennial MCHAP recognizes distinguished architectural projects built in North and South America. Eligible projects for the 2018 edition were completed between January 2016 and December 2017. While visiting the finalist projects, the jury — which includes Ricky Burdett (chair), Jose Castillo, Ron Henderson, Rodrigo Pérez de Arce, and Claire Weisz — evaluated each one for their potential for lasting influence in architecture and culture.

The winning project will be announced during a symposium at the IIT College of Architecture in Chicago on October 10. The winners will receive the MCHAP Award, the MCHAP Chair in IIT’s College of Architecture, and $50,000 to fund research and a publication.
