Both the Adams Street Branch Library and MIT Site 4 are nominated for the 2022 Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP).
“The works MCHAP celebrates inspire, educate, and challenge their users, the international design community, and the wider public. With sensitivity and intelligence, these projects achieve a formal, material, social, and environmental synergy. They realize opportunities for architecture— understood through both what architecture is, as a physical structure, and what it does, in the experiences and connections it creates.”
