The finalists for the Mies van der Rohe Award 2022, one of the most prestigious awards in the world of architecture, were announced on February 16, 2022.
For years, the Mies van der Rohe Foundation has been awarding the prize to contemporary realizations, recognizing the best building practices, timeless values and ideas relevant to 21st century architecture.
