The Fundació Mies van der Rohe calls for the 4th Lilly Reich Grant for equality in architecture to generate research and debate on modern and contemporary architecture in relation to concepts that are fundamental today, such as identity, social inclusion and all aspects of sustainability.
In 2018 the Fundació Mies van der Rohe established the Lilly Reich Grants for equality in architecture to recognize 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, that was relegated to a second place, if not non-existent, in the story and memory of this masterpiece in the history of architecture.
These grants also aim to promote the study, dissemination and visibility of contributions to architecture that have been unduly neglected or forgotten.
The 4th Lilly Reich Grant for equality in architecture is open to researchers who, individually or in groups, submit a proposal in accordance with the rules available on the Fundació Mies van der Rohe website.
Proposals may be submitted until 2 September 2024. The jury is made up of three people who, in addition to being architects, are experts and active in research and dissemination to promote equality
