The recently published Contemporary European Architecture ATLAS collects, for the first time, all of the nominated projects from the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award—2,881 projects spanning from the first edition in 1988 to the fourteenth in 2015. A short film gives a peek inside the book—with a little help from some toy dinosaurs.
The book is an editorial project of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe that was developed by architects and publishers Celia Marín and Marina Romero. It presents the thousands of architectural projects (which are found online in the searchable archive at www.miesarch.com), but it also combines unreleased materials: essays, pictures, drawings, and graphics through which readers can get a critical view of the European architectural scene.

Some of the articles inside the ATLAS include reflections by former Award director Diane Gray Award, critic and former jury member Dietmar Steiner, critic Hans Ibelings, and architects Zaida Muxí and Josep Maria Montaner.
