Young Leadership Meets 21st Century Challenges

New and emerging voices are working around the world to foster and continue the vision of a beautiful, sustainable, and equitable built environment. These young practitioners are the people who will take us into the future. A new generation of architects are returning to their cultural roots for inspiration. The “New Traditionalists” offer fresh perspectives with a primary focus on the human experience in architecture. Architecture is considered as a holistic discipline, strongly integrated from the urban scale to the details of construction. This community of designers is cosmopolitan and diverse, favoring a plurality of local traditions over an “international style”. Attention is paid to the use of local, low-tech, sustainable materials in the development of authentic regional architecture.
