CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
Established in 2008, the World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize is awarded biennially to an innovative architectural or design solution that has preserved or enhanced a Modern landmark or group of landmarks. The prize is awarded in recognition of completed (built) work, and may be awarded for an individual project or a body of work.
The award consists of $10,000 and a limited-edition Mies van der Rohe–designed Barcelona chair, created by Knoll in honor of the award. The prize is awarded to the designer, architect, or firm responsible for the work.
The inaugural 2008 World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize was awarded to Brenne Gesellschaft von Architekten mbH, led by Winfried Brenne and Franz Jaschke, for its superb restoration of the former ADGB Trade Union School, a highly significant but little-known Bauhaus-designed landmark in Bernau, Germany.
