ARCHITECTURE'S NOW, NEAR & NEXT
The world around summit
The World Around Summit has quickly become a critically acclaimed staple in the New York cultural calendar, taking place annually as an all-day series of back-to-back talks and conversations that explore and celebrate architecture’s ‘Now, Near, and Next.’ Each Summit brings together the best of global architecture and adjacent fields, inviting a variety of esteemed practitioners and emerging talents to present their innovative work on stage. With many influential luminaries from the international cultural communities also in attendance, the program and the wider event set the tone for the conversation in and around the industry.
Recent Summit
“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.”
