The Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP) has announced the 38 Outstanding Projects culled from the more than 250 works nominated for the 2022 MCHAP and MCHAP.emerge awards.
This next step in the process of the fourth biennial awards (delayed two years due to the pandemic) comes three months before the announcement of the MCHAP.emerge winner on September 21, but a long ten months before we will know the winner of the main prize, which will happen in April 2023. If previous iterations are any indication, the six-member jury* will determine six finalists, each of which the jury will visit before determining the winner. The main prize consists of built works completed between January 2018 and June 2021, while the emerging prize acknowledges the best built work in a practice in its first ten years of operations.
"The outstanding projects exhibited immense diversity across programs, scales and problems addressed; such solutions manifest across a variety of budgets, scales, and sizes. There were projects which address how people live (housing), how they gather (community projects), how they solve problems (infrastructure and prosaic building types), how they engage the public and offer unique spaces (public spaces and museums), and how they honor history (memorials and historical projects). Regardless of their diversity in approach, every project, within its scope, explores improving the quality of architecture and enhancing life. All projects also show an immense sensitivity in responding to their physical and cultural context."
