New Generations is a European platform that investigates the changes that have occurred in the architectural profession since the economic crisis of 2008 through the analysis of some of the most pioneering practices operating at the European level. Since 2013, New Generations has involved over 500 European emerging studios in a wide array of cultural projects and events, including architecture festivals, exhibitions, open calls, video interviews, workshops, and printed and online publications.
In 2020, New Generations introduced a new element to its multi-dimensional research: an online publishing platform, which offers emerging practices affiliated with its network a chance to increase their visibility and share their ideas with a wider audience. This observatory of new talents called “studio profiles” has been reorganised and is now compiled in a publication. The book presents a selection of 95 studio profiles: a series of short interviews that allow the reader a closer look at the offices’ approach, early steps, current work fields, and future challenges.
