Fill this form to have the opportunity to join the New Generations platform: submissions will be reviewed on a daily-basis, and the most innovative practices will have the chance to be part of the media's coverage and participate in our cultural agenda, including events, research projects, workshops, exhibitions and publications.
New Generations is a European platform that investigates the changes in the architectural profession ever since the economic crisis of 2008. We analyse the most innovative emerging practices at the European level, providing a new space for the exchange of knowledge and confrontation, theory, and production.
Since 2013, we have involved more than 3.000 practices from more than 50 countries in our cultural agenda, such as festivals, exhibitions, open calls, video-interviews, workshops, and experimental formats. We aim to offer a unique space where emerging architects could meet, exchange ideas, get inspired, and collaborate.

It is the first time in the history of the earth that human activities are impacting and changing the global atmosphere of our planet, manipulating it as a product. The environmental crisis is not only present with the global warming but its symptoms of sickness are evident in the soil, the water, and the air and in all forms of life. As a result, many species face extinction. Each year thousands of plant and animal species disappear to meet necessary needs for the massive growth of human demand. “We have forgotten that we ourselves are dust of the earth our very bodies are made up of her elements, we breathe her air and we receive life and refreshment from her waters” said pope Francis in his encyclical letter. These limits have defined the different chapters of monkey factor: rainwater, animals, plants, and soil. Examples and stories for each of them define a new way of including these elements in architecture. Small interventions and proposals, when joint, have the power to generate more significant stories and influence the way we think. In this negative situation of our planet, there is a positive outcome; the human can impact and change its environment. Monkey Factor tries to bridge this idea into a positive new way of thinking of our built world. It combines different disciplines and suggests methods and ideas to change our environment. Since everything is closely related, we need a global vision that considers every aspect of the environmental crisis.
