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.

House with a Chandelier was designed by the Russian practice Chvoya for the ‘Archstoyanie’ festival. The theme of the 2017 edition of the festival was on the eternal question of "how to live?".
House with a Chandelier is a residential unit for two people. The house is made of wood and has no windows.
The only opening is located on the ceiling. It connects the opaque volume of the house and the transparent volume of the skylight, where the chandelier is located.
During the day, the house is lit by natural light. In the dark, the chandelier illuminates the interior of the house, but also shines outwards.
A passerby can see that inside it is cozy, but the life of the inhabitants is completely hidden from the eyes of outsiders.
