Europe's top '40 Under 40' architects and designers for 2023 chosen

The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies has announced the winners of their 2023 ‘Europe 40 Under 40 Awards.’ The annual series seeks to celebrate “the world's most promising figures in the fields of architecture and design and their standing-out and out-of-box projects.”

The 40 award winners were spread across Europe, hailing from France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and Turkey. All selected works will be featured in an exhibition titled “40 Young European Architects with New Visions,” that will take place on Friday, December 8th, 2023, together with an awards ceremony at The European Centre in Athens, Greece.

“During these challenging times, it is crucial to keep insightful visions alive and to light the flame of progress and architectural innovation,” the organizers said about this year’s edition. “Presenting Europe’s most hopeful personalities in the fields of architecture and design is what gives us hope for a better tomorrow.”
