ATLAS of Contemporary European Architecture

ATLAS of Contemporary European Architecture is a publication of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe (Barcelona) which, compiles for the first time in a single publication all the projects that have been nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Architecture award, since its first edition in 1988 and until now. The Atlas combines essays, photos, drawings, graphics, stories and histories, which together provide a critical overview of current architecture in Europe, following the configuration of the European Union itself and the challenges it must face in a globalised world.

The Atlas is a project that has been executed with passionate enthusiasm by hundreds of architects, critics, politicians, clients and citizens who stand together to improve living conditions in Europe, having learned from succesful stories and transformed them in consonance with the world's evolution.

The Award Team invites you to travel in space and time across Europe through the architectural projects that, since 1988, have been nominated for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award. Although they might not represent the totality of what has been built in Europe, they certainly highlight the excellence and quality of European architecture and, in consequence, the way we live, learn, work and enjoy life together.

The publication will be presented next 14th November at 18:30h at Mies van der Rohe pavilion and counting with the presence of Daniel Mòdol, president of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, Anna Ramos, director of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe and with the editors of the publication Celia Marín y Marina Romero, as well as some of the authors and people related to the Mies Awards trajectory.
