Our annual Groundbreakers award showcases the talents of architects working to change the way the built world functions. But this year, our winners aren’t stopping with buildings. They’re out to change the world.
The six winners were chosen by our esteemed jury: Frances Anderton, Deborah Berke, Vishaan Chakrabarti, Tom Kundig, Alexandra Lange, Peter Marx, and Mabel O. Wilson.
Whether they’re rethinking affordable housing in New York City, designing for underserved communities in Chicago, or building health and community centers in developing nations, the 2016 Curbed Groundbreakers use design to actively improve the lives of the people who will inhabit their buildings.
