In an effort to recognize and "champion those who may not always be given the credit they deserve," the Architect's Journal's latest initiative AJ100 New Talent highlights 14 emerging designers working for UK-based firms.

Celebrating this year's design cohort is a step towards re-writing the narrative for architectural assistants who were once thought of as voiceless and underrepresented. The AJ adds that this celebration of talent "chimes with [their] focus on the struggles facing those entering the profession and the need for change. Practices have a big responsibility to nurture these rising stars, who are the future of the profession."
