Brussels – The European Commission, together with jury chairman Fréderic Druot, announced today the winners of the 2024 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture / Mies van der Rohe Award.

The winner is the Study Pavilion at the Technical University in Braunschweig, Germany, designed by architects Gustav Düsing and Max Hacke based in Berlin. The jury appreciated the ability to deal with constraints and established ideas of sustainability, the creation of a friendly and playful environment for studying, collaboration, and community gatherings through uncompromising and carefully crafted structure. The building has a clear architectural concept; the architects explored the theme and pushed it to the limits of possibility. More than just a building, the pavilion can be understood as a versatile system that combines technological advancements with a flexible and reusable principle.
Architects Gustav Düsing and Max Hacke established their studio in 2015 after winning the competition to design the Study Center in Braunschweig. They are the youngest winners in the history of the Mies van der Rohe Award.

The winner of the Emerging Architecture Prize for 2024 is the Gabriel García Márquez Library in Barcelona by the studio SUMA Arquitectura, founded by Elena Orte and Guillermo Sevillano in Madrid. The library engages with the scale of the city and contributes to the transformation of the urban neighborhood by opening up as a new external and internal public space. This wooden building develops as a rich sequence of monumental and intimate spaces that welcome visitors—neighbors and citizens—and provides them with a pleasant atmosphere for learning, teamwork, and community involvement. With careful attention to detail, the authors thoroughly explored and pushed the program of the library to its full potential.
Architects Elena Orte and Guillermo Sevillano founded their studio SUMA Arquitectura in 2005. They won the competition for the design of the Barcelona library in 2015.
