From the curator’s manifesto: “Talents in architecture need a long time to appear in public - in the end, it is often only after 40 that an architect gets to build a major building.
This however does not mean that there are no talents there - you just need a special format to see them. ARCH Moscow NEXT is such a format. Here you can get acquainted with the latest tendencies in architecture and design - what moves young people, what are their ambitions, visions and skills. They slightly offer a glimpse of what will be our world in 10 – 20 years as it is obvious that by this time these young people become professionals and leaders in their profession.”
