Jan de Vylder is part of the team that won the prestigious EUmies Award 2026
For the first time, a Belgian project has received the prestigious EUmies award. The honour goes to Charleroi Palais des Expositions, a project by architecten jan de vylder inge vinck / AgwA, in collaboration with the Charleroi City Architect and the City of Charleroi.
The EUmies Awards recognise how architecture across Europe is embracing innovation, sustainability, and long-term social impact. This year, the jury underlined the growing alignment between architecture, urban planning, and governance to meet the ambitions of the European Green Deal and to shape resilient, high-quality environments for all. “Freshness” emerged as a key theme, reflected in projects that bring new ideas and perspectives while thoughtfully transforming existing structures or proposing innovative new constructions.
