“Creativity follows mastery, so mastery of skills is the first priority for young talent.” This is the central idea behind the European Prize for Contemporary Architecture – EUmies Awards, an annual prize established by the Mies van der Rohe Foundation with the support of the European Union’s creativity support program, aimed at promoting the architectural professions. The Young Talent category, in particular, aims to support recent graduates in architecture, urban planning, and landscape design, who will be responsible for shaping the environment in the near future. The Foundation’s project includes a packed schedule of events, culminating in the award ceremony for the young winners. Their works, along with those of the other candidates, are showcased at Palazzo Mora alongside the Time Space Existence exhibition by the European Cultural Centre.
