i'm over 40. otherwise...

Steve Kinsler, East Coast Architects - South Africa (he could be early 40's though).

I guess i really meant under 40.. and possibly under 35. but i know some people dont even start teaching or finishing school til around 35.. hope that helps.

theres no help in listing other lists though...

lets make our own.

David Adjaye (YBA)

Johnathan Segal is just over 40 but he seems to have found a niche as a developer/builder architect. He has managed to put the control back with the architect. Does decent (not groungbreaking) design. Seems to be a good businessman.

jeanne gang and mark schendel

studio gang

http://www.studiogang.net/

oh come on, please give me a break with that studio gang crap

Jeffery Kovel at skylab (www.skylabdesign.com) i believe is in his 30's, he's done a lot of design/build.

these danish dudes

I like how all their projects start from one strong clear idea.
Plus I think they're down with Per!

the website looks good too...

are hot. jan might be a tad over 40, though. i am not sure

Fabian Llonch

Not sure if the criteria is fair. After all, how old was Frank Gehry when he got his start? The measure should be "young architects" meaning from when they began their careers, not "young" in absolute terms.

The plot.dk firm has some cool projects. I like their presentation style...reminds me of a bunch of Dutch offices. I really like their Grand Egyptian Museum entry...its pretty vulgar but fun. It looks like someone picked up a pyramid and violently threw it a couple miles and left it lodged in the ground upside down. Nice.

yes. very nice stuff.

definitely seem more dutch (oma) than danish (per).

urbanist, are you impling gehry is one of the best architects (over 40)?

steven, plot are actually ex-oma

so are these guys

urbanist - to heed your fears most of the guys we celebrate were the "ones to watch" when they were around 40. Gehry was highly celebrated after his big switch from boxy-stoney stuff to stuff with airplanes coming out of their asses.

Design Revolution I'm with you on the David Adjaye - he's played his cards right so far. And he's British - they tend to be elated quickly. Its the "we love foriegners" thing I guess.

Oh yea and studiogang, there are a couple more out there, that are pretty good - too many to name. But as with that book 40 under 40, alot of them disappear as soon as they appear. Somehow you just need to know how to keep the flame and flash going.

How could the criteria not be fair? Its what I wanted to know.

Its easy to see and know great architects over 40 in their career. they are very well published.

I wanted to try and get a list of peoples thoughts on the next great architects.. people who are teaching or just starting and havent really been published much.

Of course most namedin this list will never make it.. but its what i wanted to know.

Studio Gang isn't shit.

I'm all about UrbanLab.


.mm

Oh yeah, UrbanLab has a ton of work that really top quality. They suck harder than studio gang

raji...
did someone poo in your cornflakes?
it's pretty easy to shoot down every other name...
possibly you could grant us the honor of letting us
know who you think is a good young firm...

architensions, bitch

interesting...i don't know there work..but you
have impressed me thusfar with your use of the
english language. how old are you, four?

threads like this seem tailored to haters. funny how a sincere opinion poll brings out the genius in people.

that said, i nominate lewis.tsurumaki.lewis. smart, talented, and very hard working. nice guys to work for as well.

NOMADE
www.nomade.ca

israel...i dig those guys as well..do you perchance
know if they're hiring in the near future by any chance?

Raji, Architension? Are you kidding me? You make me sad.

By the way, still waiting for their fantastic built works which top StudioGang OR UrbanLab.

Put down your sniper andcontribute to the conversation.

.mm

Hmm, noone mentioned FOA? Surely they are both under 40?

Other that that I love Plot too. Seem you have to be an ex-OMA to have a successfull office if you're young. :(/:)

it's true oma is producing a ton of potential leaders for the new generation...
i wonder, is this attributable to Rem himself, the office environment in general, or what.
any thoughts from oma employees?

wasn't that true of the previous generation as well - however its only now that they are getting a chance to build on larger scales (think ZH)

too bad studiogang's starlight theatre is falling apart....

Too bad that starlight theater was done when the office was still Studio Gang/O'Donnell. What have they done since then?
Oh, and MM, have you seem that crap that UrbanLab did in Bridgeport? It's a lod of crap. litterally. you moron.

"It's a lod of crap. litterally. you moron"

when attempting to insult someone...it may be best to
spell check...especially when you're calling them a moron

you'll gain noone's respect if you keep
this kind of witty banter up.

raji is confusing me...

but true about Urban Lab... felson is very talented... he should go far...

and studio gang is doing some REALLY good work... there are valid crits of thier stuff...but "they suck" isnt one of them


israel -- amen on lewis.tsurumaki.lewis.

they are definetly a great example of interesting rendering styles... plus they do interesting buildings...

I think what Raji is saying is that (as of now) all the press Studio Gang is receiving, is for work completed when the office was still Studio Gang|O'Donell. Of course they have 'won' the Calumet project and several others, ontop of being represented at the Venice in 2004. But I think that many people are waiting to see what is going to be next from them.

And lars... you should not be talking about gaining respect.

big aaron...don't know what i've done to offend you..
maybe i was a bit childish in some of my responses..but
i guess i found it odd that i was called a bitch for asking
raji to explain himself rather than just hurl insults...

in any case,
does anyone like nArchitects? they work in the same space
as LTL and have done some interesting work...although not
much has been built.

After PS.1 2004 nArchitects have won several competitions and they are teaching quite a bit. A friend of mine works there and I've seen some of their recent work, it's pretty good, we'll see what it looks like built.

gang is 41 and schendel is 48 so they dont they arent 'under 40's' and urban lab really has built naught. the envir center of gang is not going ahead as the pbc has recognized that 'fair play' for the comp was at questionable and the mayor needs no further scandel at this point in time. lots and lots of young practices are doing exactly what urban lab are doing competition wise and are equally talented - the bridgeport 'crap' is their own house so at least they got some commision.

Ive never heard of urban lab, but my first impression is that they arent very creative with their name using "urban lab" how droll.

other than that. their website isnt that helpful.

TED. who are you? you always seem to know about everything in Chicago.

M.O.O.

I hear the one of the CEOs is going going to take over SCI-Arc someday soon...

iheartmoo.

nArchitects are definitely interesting - eric and mimi are nice people and work very hard. jj at slab is another interesting oma alum doing some good work.
