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.

Maison Operative is a 380 sqm store in the center of Bari, dedicated to young fashion and designed by local office SMALL.
The store is characterised by experimental style, materials and lines and aimed at the promotion of emerging fashion designers from all over Europe.
The interior design project was conceived to enhance the accurate selections made by the store, based on the tailoring, bespoke approach of the choices and realisations, from materials to display compositions, from the lighting to the distribution of the spaces and to the furnishings, all custom-made.
The "pop" character of the space is achieved through an extreme visual language: fluorescent colors, vaporwave influence patterns, materials inspired by the New York metropolitan culture.
Tropicalised steel and saturated colored enamels are accompanied by lighting dominated by a single path of linear LEDs that cross the whole space and change color, altering the visitor's perception and creating a new experience.
Downstairs, the store also houses a small bar corner, thus becoming a hybrid space, fully connected to the city.
