EUmies Awards Young Talent winners announced at the Venice Architecture Biennale

The Fundació Mies van der Rohe, jointly alongside Creative Europe, has just announced three Young Talent winners of the EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture / Mies van der Rohe Awards category as part of the EUmies Awards Day 2023 in Venice.Winners received special oak trophies designed by the Architecture School of Kharkiv, Ukraine, before engaging in conversations with members of the European Union, foundation, and jury members N’Goné Fall, Manuel Henriques, Jennifer Mack, Simone Sfriso, and Snežana Vesnić around a four-pronged set of topics that includes ‘Cultural Heritage and Memory,’ ‘Cartographies and Identity,’ ‘New Ecologies within the City,’ and ‘Exchange and Roots.’Georg Häusler, the Director for Culture, Creativity, and Sport for the European Commission, said the results “show the competitiveness achieved by these young professionals through the amazing transfer of skills from their professors.”“Young Talent is a key example of the aims of the European Year of Skills, in which these skillful architects and those that will have the opportunity to work with them will be empowered to successfully handle professional challenges and to fully engage in society,” he added.The three winning projects each received €5,000 and were joined by a parallel Young Talent Open winner. Jury member Fall added: “For us it was important to embrace diversity, to create a group that integrates diversity of ways of thinking, ways of projecting, ways of analyzing reality, ways of transforming reality, ways of learning architecture, ways of understanding architecture."An exhibition of their work in the Palazzo Mora will remain on view to the public until November 26 as a Collateral Event of the Venice Architecture Biennale, with a special publication set to follow in the fall.Valter — Dinko Jelecevic from the Faculty of Architecture, Graz University of TechnologyRead the full post on Bustler
