Mies Van Der Rohe Award (European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture 2005)

The winners of the two categories of the 2005 Mies van der Rohe Architecture Price are both Dutch, and in these two projects from the same culture we can readily appreciate the fruits of the Netherlands policy in support for young architects. The projects in question are the Netherlands Embassy in Berlin by OMA, and the Basket Bar by NL Architects in the category of Emerging Architect Special mention.
