Estudio Mola: The Latest Architecture and News

The Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP) has announced four finalist projects designed by emerging practices in the Americas for the 2022 MCHAP.emerge, the fourth cycle of the award.

Selected among a set of 50 projects by emerging practices, the four finalists' architects will present their work next September 21, 2022 at Mies van der Rohe’s S.R. Crown Hall at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, before the official announcement to be held at the end of the evening. Moreover, the 2022 MCHAP primary prize winner will be announced in April 2023.

After a two-year suspension due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize has announced that 10 projects designed by emerging practices in the Americas have been shortlisted for the 2022 MCHAP.emerge.

The MCHAP.emerge acknowledges the best architectural project in the Americas by practices within its first ten years of operation: Pezo von Ellrichausen's Poli House won the inaugural MCHAP.emerge in 2014. Two years later, Mexican office PRODUCTORA was awarded for their design for the Pavilion for the Culture Fair at the Zocalo in Mexico City. In the latest cycle held in 2018, Rozana Montiel's Common Unity was chosen as the winner—the design of public space in a housing complex in Mexico City.
