Jansen supports the EUmies Awards since 2018
The EUmies Awards in the Architecture & Emerging categories take place in odd years, while the Young Talent Award takes place in even years. In 2024, the Architecture & Emerging Award will take place in Barcelona. The Mies van der Rohe Foundation aims to:
- Recognise and celebrate the excellence of European architecture in conceptual, social, cultural, technical and constructive terms.
- To highlight the European city as a model for the sustainable smart city that contributes to a sustainable European economy.
Jansen has been an exclusive industry partner for the prestigious EUmies Young Talent Architecture Award (YTAA) since 2018. With this commitment, Jansen promotes the visions of young architects, urban planners and landscape architects.
Architecture & Emerging
The Architecture & Emerging Awards are awarded to a specific architectural building.
The jury (Martin Braathen, Oslo, Pippo Ciorra, Rome, Frédéric Druot, Paris/Bordeaux, Tinatin Gurgenidze, Tbilisi/Berlin, Adriana Krnácová, Prague, Sala Makumbundu, Luxembourg, and Hrvoje Njiric, Zagreb) will meet to evaluate all the nominated entries in order to select the winners. The award ceremony will take place in May 2024 as part of the 'MODEL Barcelona Architecture Festival'.
These categories honour the achievements of European architects and developers in the development of new concepts and technologies. They offer citizens and public institutions the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the importance of architecture in building sustainable and inclusive cities and communities where the essential relationship between the quality of life and the environment is a priority.
In March, the jury will view these architectural works and decide on the winning projects, which will be announced on 25 April. The official award ceremony event will take place during the 'Barcelona Architecture Weeks' on 14 May.
