The HORIZONS Business Center & ZAG-GALLERY has been nominated for the 2026 Mies van der Rohe Award!
The reconstruction of the institute building into the ZAG Gallery serves as an example of a creative approach to preserving the existing structure of the environment. The building’s volume is a combination of a glass envelope and decorative elements in the shape of ‘books,’ creating a well-ordered composition. An innovative solution was the use of aluminum as the primary facade material, making it possible to achieve the desired visual effect while maintaining structural lightness.

The Mies van der Rohe Award is the highest honor for contemporary architecture in Europe, often referred to as the European ‘architectural Oscar.’ It recognizes projects that demonstrate excellence and innovation, setting trends and highlighting the cultural and social significance of architecture. Being nominated for this award means joining the ranks of the finest architectural works on the continent.
