Out & About: Discovering Architecture with the 2022 EUmies Awards

Out & About. Discovering Architecture. EUmies Awards 2022

“Out & About: Discovering Architecture with the 2022 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies Van Der Rohe Awards”, will take place next May in over 25 European cities in which shortlisted works of the prize are located. Organised by Creative Europe, Fundació Mies van der Rohe and the indisputable expertise of Guiding Architects, citizens will have the opportunity to know much more about projects in their cities or in places that they are visiting with the authors, clients and people who know them well.

Architecture can be found just about everywhere we look, and this look needs to be transformed into observation, curiosity and questioning. Out & About becomes a biennial celebration of contemporary architecture across the continent devoted to its appreciation through the look of each and everyone of us. Visits and events focused on architecture are hosted by the community of experts, partners, and leading voices in architecture. This year’s focus, following the discussions and decisions taken by the jury, is the current pressing paradigm shift in the achievement of equity and democracy through inclusion and acceptance of diversity in architecture. It will also strengthen European architects’ role as caregivers, contributing to the European Green deal and its cultural component: the “New European Bauhaus”.

This first edition of Out & About will take place in: Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Bucharest, Budapest, Cornellà de Llobregat, Ebeltoft, Ghent, Guécélard, Hasselt, Helensburgh / Baile Eilidh, Helsinki, Kourouta-Amaliada, Linz, Lisbon, London, Neustift im Stubaital, Oświęcim, Paris, Prague, Ptuj, Puig-Reig, Ribe, Romainville, Rybnik, Saclay, Saint-Jean-de-Boiseau, Stavanger, Tilburg, Turin, Vantaa, Vienna, and Wiener Neustadt.
