The Cycle 5 Outstanding Project winners of this year's Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize have been announced in both MCHAP.emerge and The Americas Prize categories.
Maurice Cox, the MCHAP Cycle 5 Jury Chair, describes: "The increase in publicly commissioned works clearly signals a renewed commitment to civic
architecture and the power of design as demonstrated by a wide range of types, including
community centers and cultural, arts, and educational institutions. Many projects were
the result of public-sector and foundation-sponsored design interventions that promote community
well-being through design excellence." Cox also highlighted the important presence of adaptive
reuse, urban housing, and sensitive landscape interventions in works drawing the jury’s attention.
"In particular, the projects recognized as Outstanding for the Prize for Emerging Practice illustrate
both a strong community-driven orientation and an innovative architectural insertion into the
everyday urban fabric of cities. They situate architecture in the public realm where architecture and
landscape intersect with people," he added.
A total of 53 projects were selected from the 259 nominees built in 2022 and 2023. That includes 42 MCHAP selections and another 11 for the MCHAP.emerge category.

The nomination process for this prize kind of sucks. An anonymous network of nominators is perhaps appropriate for a private social club, but not an architecture prize program.
