MCHAP Book One

The inaugural Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize Book brings together leading architects and academics in a dialogue exploring the current state of architecture throughout the Americas and explores themes raised by the seven finalist projects from the inaugural Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize cycle. As part of the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize program recognizing the best built work in the Americas and launched in 2014, MCHAP is publishing a series of books that will include the inaugural "MCHAP Book", as well as publications by the MCHAP and MCHAP.emerge winners. The "MCHAP Book" will use the seven finalist projects to identify broad, thematic reflections on the American condition. In that context, "American" necessarily refers to the entirety of the continent, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.
