Features design innovations that have become the visual models for
idea advancement worldwide. "...a truly impressive group that
represents five continents and 19 countries."' Architectural Digest
The architects, designers, artists and others represented in 'Fifty
Under Fifty' are innovators of our time. After a worldwide search
of 50 top architecture and design firms by the editors, lead author
Beverly Russell along with Eva Maddox and Farooq Ameen help bring
together a unique body of work; all partners in these firms will be
50 years old or under at the time of publication, and represent a
forward-thinking generation of creative people, aware of global
issues that urgently need solutions through imaginative design. A
distinguished five-person jury presided over the final selection:
Stanley Tigerman, founding partner, Tiger McCurry, Chicago; Ralph
Johnson, design principal, Perkins+Will, Chicago; Jeanne Gang,
founder Gang Studio, Chicago; Marion Weiss, founding partner, Weiss
Manfredi, New York; and Qingyun Ma, Dean of Architecture,
University of Southern California, and founder MADA s.p.a.m.,
Shanghai and Beijing. The innovators featured here share with us
their desires for exponential learning; designs are illuminated
with full-colour photography and detailed illustrations, helping to
showcase the innovators' individual curiosities, imaginations, and
talents. This material shows how they bridge disciplines, respect
cultural norms, respond to human needs regardless of costs, and how
they adopt team transparency in their passion to create and solve
problems with a clear mission. This highly anticipated book
showcases honorees located across many different countries,
including Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, China, Germany, India,
Ireland, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sri Lanka,
Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, and the United States. Significantly, a
quarter of these innovators are women, representing the elevated
leadership of women in architecture and design. AUTHOR: A
