ARCHITECTURE'S NOW, NEAR & NEXT

The world around summit

The World Around's Annual Summit is a must-see event in New York's cultural calendar. This convening of architecture's 'now, near and next' brings together the best of recently-completed and under-construction global architecture and design, inviting a variety of inspiring, change-making practitioners, global thought-leaders and new voices to present their cutting-edge work and ideas on stage. Hosted in partnership with major museums, the program and the wider event set the tone for the conversation in and around the industry for years to come. As part of The World Around's mission to make the best ideas in architecture and design accessible to all, the annual summit is free and open to all. The program is live-streamed and all presentations archived on The World Around website in perpetuity.

“The World Around is one of the only platforms truly shining a light on the avant-garde in architecture and design—on the people and ideas pushing the field forward in unexpected ways. It creates space for vital conversations about how we shape the world, and how the world, in turn, shapes us. In a time of immense challenge and possibility, that gives me hope.”
