The project has, over the years, spanned styles and continents, while always championing the best and most exciting young architecture studios and showcasing inspiring work with an emphasis on the residential realm. Now including more than 500 alumni and counting, our exciting annual survey is back – the Wallpaper* Architects’ Directory 2021 is here and ready for you to explore in full.
