Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize names 53 Outstanding Project winners for 2024

The Cycle 5 Outstanding Project winners of this year's Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize have been announced in both MCHAP.emerge and The Americas Prize categories.

Maurice Cox, the MCHAP Cycle 5 Jury Chair, describes: "The increase in publicly commissioned works clearly signals a renewed commitment to civic architecture and the power of design as demonstrated by a wide range of types, including community centers and cultural, arts, and educational institutions. Many projects were the result of public-sector and foundation-sponsored design interventions that promote community well-being through design excellence." Cox also highlighted the important presence of adaptive reuse, urban housing, and sensitive landscape interventions in works drawing the jury’s attention. 

"In particular, the projects recognized as Outstanding for the Prize for Emerging Practice illustrate both a strong community-driven orientation and an innovative architectural insertion into the everyday urban fabric of cities. They situate architecture in the public realm where architecture and landscape intersect with people," he added.

A total of 53 projects were selected from the 259 nominees built in 2022 and 2023. That includes 42 MCHAP selections and another 11 for the MCHAP.emerge category.
