The Prize is the Beginning

The prize is only the beginning. MCHAP’s goal is to lay groundwork for these conversations to continue growing on their own, contributing to a greater understanding of how architecture impacts the vibrant, complex world around us.

Presented in collaboration with the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP), an affiliate of IIT, this exhibition highlights leading-edge contemporary architecture from across the Americas as recognized by the juried biennial Americas Prize and Emerge awards. The selected work reveals a wide range of functions and cultural contexts and underscores that there is more than a single accepted definition of design excellence.
