Nejlepší evropská architektura - výstava v CAMP

The company often underestimates what good and smart architecture can achieve. It can help solve complex problems of today's world, respond to rapidly and radically changing needs of people, current issues, and various societal phenomena. These are some of the reflections of the members of the jury of the EUmies Awards 2024 on the role of contemporary architecture in today's society.
The European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award is an architectural award given every two years by the European Commission and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe from Barcelona. For the 18th edition, 362 works located in 38 countries were nominated, from which, after an extensive journey throughout Europe and many hours of discussions, the jury members Frédéric Druot, Martin Braathen, Sala Makumbundu, Adriana Krnáčová, Hrvoje Njirić, Tinatin Gurgenidze, and Pippo Ciorra selected 40 works that you can view at this exhibition.
Among them are finalists and winners: the study pavilion at TU Braunschweig, which challenges current ideas about sustainability; the city library of Gabriel García Márquez, which transforms the surrounding neighborhood by creating a new public space in Barcelona and becomes a new urban living room; a vertical school on the outskirts of Madrid, characterized by a unique aesthetic expression, spatial richness, and an effort towards ecological restoration; a mystical garden on the outskirts of Lund, striving to preserve a small piece of nature, around which a new residential district will soon grow; a historic building of former slaughterhouses in Ostrava, transformed into a contemporary art gallery; a landscape intervention at the monastery atop a hill in Sainte-Lucie-de-Tallano in Corsica, connecting people through culture; and a quiet, delicate intervention in the small Portuguese mountain village of Piódão.
Join us for a slow walk through the forest, where the best contemporary architectural works in Europe grow exuberantly like trees and bushes. Their story is told multilayeredly through photographs, drawings, models, texts, and videos. All works are geographically located through precise coordinates, creating an abstract map of Europe: the map of the EUmies Awards 2024. All 362 nominees are also described in detail in the catalog accompanying and supplementing the exhibition.
The exhibition is organized by the Fundació Mies van der Rohe from Barcelona and the European Union.
