The 362 works nominated for this, the 19th cycle of the EUmies Award, were announced last October. From that lengthy list, the jury — made up of Frédéric Druot, Martin Braathen, Pippo Ciorra, Tinatin Gurgenidze, Adriana Krnáčová, Sala Makumbundu, and Hrvoje Njiric — selected the shortlist of 40 works. From this list of 40, five finalists will be determined, and announced in early February.

The 40 shortlisted works are located in half as many countries, the highest numbers in Spain (6), Belgium (4), Germany (4), Croatia (3), France (3), and Portugal (3). Notably, half of the finalists are in locales with populations of fewer than 100,000 people, with seven of the works in villages with less than 500 inhabitants. 

Typologically, the finalists appear to be more varied than in previous cycles, with no single typology in the majority above others. This variety is reiterated by some words from juror Frédéric Durot: 

“We thought it was important to show the diversity of themes, scales and approaches to architecture through this selection of projects; the attitude and positioning of architects towards the treatment of the complexity of the world and the correspondence of their thoughts and identities with the proposals.”

The 40 shortlisted works are listed below in alphabetical order by country with links to the individual projects on the EU Mies Award website. The winner of the 2024 EU Mies Award will be announced during the EUmies Awards Day being held at the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona on May 13 and 14.
