In addition to preserving and spreading knowledge about the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion, the Fundació now plays a crucial role in promoting discussions and raising awareness about contemporary architecture and urban planning. It also encourages in-depth studies on the works of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich, and the Modern Movement. To fulfill these objectives, the Fundació arranges various events such as awards, congresses, conferences, exhibitions, workshops, and installations.

Of all these activities, the joint organization of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Awards with the European Commission stands out prominently. This award holds immense prestige within the realm of European architecture prizes.
