Exhibit Columbus, a biennial exhibition that launched in 2016 in the "Modernist mecca" of Columbus, Indiana, has announced the winners of the 2018-2019 Irwin and Xenia S. Miller Prize. Selected for their commitment to the "transformative power that architecture, art, and design have to improve people’s lives and make cities stronger," the honorees, all based in North America, will build site-specific installations in downtown Columbus as part of the 2019 exhibition.

The winners are:

MASS Design Group (Boston)
SO-IL (New York)
Frida Escobedo Studio (Mexico City)
Agency Landscape + Planning (Cambridge, MA)
Bryony Roberts Studio (New York)

The second edition of the exhibition will open Saturday, August 24, 2019, guided by the curatorial theme "Good Design in the Community."

Exhibit Columbus has partnered with Docomomo US to present a national symposium, preceding the exhibition, taking place September 26 to 29, 2018.
