The Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP) has named Román Meyer Falcón, the Secretary of Agrarian, Territorial, and Urban Development (SEDATU) of Mexico, as the inaugural Phyllis Lambert Agent of Excellence Award honoree.
Meyer Falcón, a trained architect, has been instrumental in overseeing the development of the SEDATU since its founding in 2018. Several SEDATU projects have been recognized with nominations for recent MCHAP editions in that timeframe. Dirk Denison, the Director of the MCHAP, said: "This award is an additional way for us to point to excellence in architecture and learn from how it originates and is delivered. Highlighting the influence of 'agents of excellence' helps tell a richer story of architecture and hopefully inspires and empowers new agents who understand that excellent architecture gives back many times over."
Lambert, a 1963 graduate of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), added it "brings me a profound sense of fulfillment in relation to my life’s work" to have the new award given in her name.
