Living Places – Simon Architecture Prize 2026 Opens for Submissions

The sixth edition of the Living Places – Simon Architecture Prize, an initiative by Simon developed by the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, has been announced for 2026. The prize aims to distinguish architectural works of excellence that enhance the adaptability of spaces and ensure the comfort of their inhabitants. It celebrates architectures that become quality places for people in their daily lives—for working, learning, playing, and living. The video is considered a key tool for bringing architecture closer to the general public and conveying the atmosphere of a place, and it is the main document to be submitted. The announcement was published on ArchDaily on July 31, 2026, with a photograph by Matilda Vidal titled 'El caçador de geometries'.
