The Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers is an
annual competition, series of lectures, exhibition, and publication
organized by The Architectural League of New York. For more than thirty
years, the League Prize has recognized outstanding and provocative work
by up-and-coming North American architects and designers.
The 2018 competition theme, Objective, suggested that the topic "implies
an action" and that "how we act, what our actions achieve, and how we
argue for a design speak to our values as a discipline and as a
society." The winners' work exemplifies the diverse ways young
architects and designers are pursuing multiple "objectives," from
projects that insightfully address social, economic, and political
agendas to material and structural experimentation that inspires
innovative design at every scale.
Young Architects 20: Objective presents the work of the six winners of
the 2018 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers
competition.
