About the EUmies Award
The EUmies award is the European Union prize for architecture and the ultimate honour for a building in Europe. The EUmies Awards are granted to single architectural works demonstrating excellence in conceptual, social, cultural and technical terms. They raise awareness of quality architecture and its contribution to the well-being of citizens and the sustainable development of European cities, towns and villages.

The RIAI is presenting the exhibition in Ireland to engage public and professional audiences with Irish and European architecture, the New European Bauhaus and the positive impact architecture can have on the challenges we are facing – from climate change to affordable housing and liveable cities.

The exhibition is supported in Ireland by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the National Policy on Architecture/Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH), the European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland and the OPW.
