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.

The editorial project <CITYWORDS > began in 2018 with the publication of the number '0'. It tackles the complex theme of the city, with Lynchian-style phenomenology as its starting point and using a Deleuzian rhizomatic approach to bring it up to date through a complex textual collage, thus defining a list of 19 headwords. A play on 'words', a 'book of books', CITYWORDS tells like a labyrinthine Borgesian tale.
In 2021, the second edition <CITYWORDS 01> has been expanded with a new section that opens up exploration of the headwords, in a dialogue open to artists and photographers who independently correlate the 19 'headwords' with 19 'images', selected from its archives, making the visual subtext of the textual arguments more apparent. So that: <CITYWORDS 02 - In the Jungle>, a dialogue with the animal soul of installations by the well-known sculptor Davide Rivalta in various areas of the city; <CITYWORDS 03 - The Absent City >, which investigates the relationship between archaeology and the city through the ethereal shots of Claudio Sabatino; and finally, <CITYWORDS 04 - Barcelona>, keenly investigation of the city with unprecedented glimpses from the sharp eye of Filippo Poli. CITYWORDS editorial project in between the seriality of a magazine and the uniqueness of a book in a transversal affinity with the mythical OPPOSITIONS.
