The World Around is proud to collaborate with the Department of Architecture & Design at MoMA to present its Annual Summit, a convening of the now, near, and next of contemporary architecture and design. Now in its seventh iteration, the Summit brings together architects, designers, thinkers, and community leaders from around the world to share urgent ideas, emerging practices, and built work that expands the field’s social and ecological impact. Through keynote talks, short presentations, and cross-disciplinary conversations, the program spotlights new modes of making, partnering, and organizing—foregrounding equitable futures, climate intelligence, and cultural imagination—at the scale of objects, buildings, landscapes, and cities. Save the date for the year’s most anticipated event. Admission is first come, first served, with The World Around Circles members receiving reserved seating. Speakers will be announced in spring. We look forward to seeing you in New York in May!
