Lilly Reich Grant for equality in architecture , Barcelona / Spanien

 

In the conception and development of its activities, the Fundació Mies van der Rohe aims to generate research and debate about modern and contemporary architecture in a manner that is open to paradigm changes, and particularly in relation to concepts which are fundamental today such as identity, social inclusion and all elements of sustainability.

 

In recognition of the architectural legacy of Lilly Reich, the artistic partner of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the conception and execution of the German Pavilion of Barcelona in 1929, relegated to a second place, if not non-existent, in the story and memory of this masterpiece in the history of architecture, the Fundació Mies van der Rohe has established the Lilly Reich Grant for equality in architecture.

 

The grant promotes the study, dissemination and visibilisation of the contributions in architecture which have been unduly relegated or forgotten, made by professionals who have suffered discrimination due to their personal conditions. The grant also seeks to promote access in the equality of opportunities in architectural practice.

 

Physical persons who are researchers who, individually or in a group, present a study proposal in accordance with these bases, are eligible for the Lilly Reich Grant for Equality in Architecture.

 

The aspirants can submit their projects from 16 June until 2 September 2024 (14:00 CET).

 

The Jury’s resolution, which cannot be appealed, will be made public on 7 October 2024, World Architecture Day, through the website of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe (www.miesbcn.com)
