Design Vanguard 2007

For our eighth annual selection of the world’s top emerging designers, RECORD finds a diverse group of firms that are committed to making architecture count

Looking at this year’s Design Vanguard winners, the first things you notice are the graceful lines and intriguing forms of the built work. You think: accomplished, thoughtful, pleasing. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll discover that this year’s group of 10 emerging designers is doing more than just making appealing architecture. Without a lot of fanfare or noise, these practitioners are engaging with issues larger than just form-making and are addressing audiences beyond the world of architects.
