This past spring, the EUmies Awards 2026 Exhibition was presented at the Palau Victòria Eugènia as part of "What Is This? A Spa, a Gym, or a Tiny Animals Zoo?", a major exhibition organised by Fundació Mies van der Rohe within the programme of BCN_arquitectura World Capital of Architecture 2026.

The exhibition marked the first extensive presentation of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe Collection. Bringing together more than 500 pieces—including models, original drawings, videos, and materials from the ephemeral interventions at the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion and the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture / Mies van der Rohe Awards since its first edition in 1988—it offered a unique journey through four decades of contemporary European architecture.

At the heart of the exhibition, the 40 shortlisted works of the EUmies Awards 2026 highlighted some of the most significant architectural achievements realised across Europe in recent years, connecting today's architectural debates with the history and legacy of the Prize. It also represented one of the last opportunities to experience the Palau Victòria Eugènia in its current form before its transformation into the future extension of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.

The EUmies Awards is saddened to share the news of the passing of Harold Fallon, co-founder of AgwA, the Brussels-based studio that received this year's EUmies Award 2026 in the Architecture category for the Charleroi Palais des Expositions, realised together with architecten jan de vylder inge vinck.

We are grateful that Harold was able to celebrate this achievement in person during the EUmies Awards Days in Barcelona this past 11 and 12 May. It was a joy to see him there with his team, and to see everyone in turn celebrate him: his vision, his warmth and everything he brought to this project and to the field of architecture.

His work and his teaching at KU Leuven leave a lasting mark. The EUmies Awards extends its thoughts to his family, his partners at AgwA, his students and everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.
