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.

abitare PESCIONI is a project, designed by OPPS architettura, located within the historic city of Arezzo, Italy.
Arezzo is a city and commune in Italy, located in Tuscany.
The arrangement of the apartment on two levels tries to adapt to the existing, the result of continuous changes to the new housing needs.
The unique features of the current situation are the imperfections, the small and continuous changes of altitude.
This design process intended to adjust the current artefact, building a new one capable of maintaining the sign that preceded it.
The original system is handled as a template, matrix and measurement of the new layout.
The stair is one of the elements around which the project is centred, introducing materials and details that intend to configure a delicate but decisive presence.
It is realised by partly recovering the existing one, without modification of the floorplans.
The intervention occupies an existing gap in the form of a large system, normalising the flows of distribution in a single step.
This space, center compared to the plan, gives access to the two most intimate areas: bathrooms, bedrooms and wardrobe.
The rope flooring of the entrance is interrupted by the parquet laid with a different warping. A terrazzo element highlighting the ramp becomes a solution of continuity between one floor and another.
In order to reveal the difference in height.
The small and continuous changes of height represent both an obstacle to be curbed and an occasion to connote the dynamics of the house.
