Exhibition number: SW 70
The exhibition presents works by the winners of the prestigious international competition for the best diploma projects — the Young Talent Architecture Award (YTAA) 2025, which complements the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Awards (EU Mies Awards). The competition is organized by the Fundació Mies van der Rohe with the support of the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, in cooperation with the European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE) and the Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE-CAE).
The exhibition “future? / przyszłość?” is not merely a review of the best architectural diploma projects, but also a reflection on the future of architectural practice. The presented works reveal an understanding of architecture as an ethical and interdisciplinary act, deeply embedded in social, environmental, and spatial realities. The projects indicate possible directions for the development of architecture—more attentive, inclusive, and conscious of its role in shaping the future.
The exhibited works were previously shown as part of an accompanying exhibition at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2025, contributing to the international debate on the contemporary role of architecture and architectural education.
