Last night at a benefit dinner held Illinois Institute of Technology’s S. R. Crown Hall, Grace Farms—a project of the Pritzker Prize-winning firm SANAA—was honored with the 2014/2015 Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP). Architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa designed the undulating pavilion, which opened in October 2015 and appeared on RECORD’s November cover, for the nonprofit Grace Farms Foundation.
Known as the River, the building meanders down a hill in New Canaan, Connecticut, with six glazed volumes connected by a long, snaking aluminum roof, reminiscent of the firm’s 2009 Serpentine Pavilion. Art is installed throughout the pavilion, including works by Thomas Demand and Teresita Fernández.
