Anna Ramos (Mies van der Rohe Foundation) and Hughes Becquart (European Commission – Directorate General for Education and Culture) will be the first to present to the public, at the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO), the five finalists of the EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2017, who will be announced by the jury the day before in Barcelona. Also taking part in the presentation, together with other honorary guests, will be member of the award’s advisory committee and director of MAO, Matevž Čelik.

The European Commission and the Mies van der Rohe Foundation have announced the shortlisted works that will compete for the 2017 EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award. The 40 shortlisted projects were selected from among 355 nominees, and the jury will select the five finalists in February. The award winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona on 26 May 2017.

The presentation in Ljubljana will take place in the framework of the Future Architecture platform conference organised by the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO). The Future Architecture Platform and the Mies van der Rohe Award are the central projects financed by the European Commission in the field of architecture, and the participants at the MAO conference will also be looking at ways in which the work of these two projects can be connected as effectively as possible.
