Itinerant Office's ATLAS maps emerging European architecture practices
In 2012, Architect Gianpiero Venturini founded Itinerant Office, which recently published the ATLAS of emerging practices concerning contemporary architecture. This resource compiles insights from over 90 architecture firms throughout Europe as part of the New Generations initiative. This initiative, which has spanned six European cities, has engaged nearly 300 architects from more than 20 EU countries through various formats like workshops and exhibitions. The ATLAS examines four key themes: Organisation, Business, Media, and Projects, informed by feedback from 95 groups across 22 nations. The upcoming New Generations Festival will occur in Rome from September 6-8, featuring the ATLAS presentation on September 7 at 5 PM.
