METROPOLIS Future100
METROPOLIS Future100
Each year, METROPOLIS sets out to designate the top graduating architecture and interior design students in the United States and Canada through its Future100 program, this year sponsored by Daltile, Formica, Keilhauer, and Sherwin-Williams. The 100 students featured here represent some of the most extraordinary young designers from the class of 2024. Their portfolios are awash with beautiful spaces and buildings, but beyond their visual prowess they demonstrate a deep understanding of their responsibility to make an impact through design. With empathy and maturity, they address community, culture, inclusivity, and sustainability through detailed research, fresh methodologies, and innovative materiality—establishing their rising star status and proving their merit as they embark on their careers.
