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 300 practices from more than 20 European 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.

3-8 is a new design piece designed by Leopold Banchini permanently installed in one of the exhibition rooms on the 4th floor of the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
This educational space hosts dialogues between art and industries as well as workshops and lectures.
Inspired by the technical raised floors used in offices around the globe, the pedagogical tools of the multifunctional space are hidden under the surface.
Confronting the “clean desk” trends of current neo-capitalism to utopian flexible projects of the 70s, this new Supersurface questions our alienating working environment.
Entirely built with grey materials used in the working environment, the project suggests new subversive usages and encourages emancipation from preconceived relation with the professional realm.
Designed in collaboration with Laure Jaffuel, the project opened in May 2018.
