The organization of the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP) has named the six finalists for the biennial award that recognizes outstanding works of architecture built on the American continent.

Completed between 2018 and 2021, the projects were selected by a jury chaired by Sandra Barclay, a founding partner at Barclay & Crousse.

The winner will be announced on 24 March at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, designed by Mies van de Rohe.
