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.

Pop-up café is a project built as a temporary structure for MEXTRÓPOLI, an architecture festival in Mexico City, by the local studio Palma, commissioned by one of the sponsors of the festival, CREST firm specialized in the sale of adhesives for construction.
The project was initially intended as a stand that could exhibit the different products of the brand, however, instead of the product being exhibited, the stand could actually be built with the brand’s products so that this would be used throughout the project.
Finally, the stand would function as a temporary café/bar, a meeting point where festival attendees could have informal talks between the different lectures.
The proposal consists of an island, 30 cm separated from the walls/columns on its four sides. The platform rises 20 cm from the floor and along it a series of volumes with different functions such as bench, bar, table or lamp are extruded.
The structure was built with second-hand wooden frame that was hidden behind a 5x5 cm white mosaic grid and a red joint, the sponsor brand’s flagship color.
