The winners of the inaugural Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize were announced at a benefit dinner at the S.R. Crown Hall of the Illinois Institute of Technology on 22 October 2014.
The biennial prize, announced by Wiel Arets, Dean of the College of Architecture at IIT, and others at an event at the CCA in February, recognizes the most distinguished architectural works built in North and South America. Nominations for the inaugural MCHAP consisted of 265 projects from over 15 countries. Jury chair Kenneth Frampton explained, per a statement from IIT, "We decided to give two equal awards, one covering the period 2000 through 2008, and one covering the shorter period 2009 through 2013."
