Since 2000, RECORD has annually honored 10 leading young firms with the Design Vanguard award. Join managing editor Leopoldo Villardi for a conversation with three of this year’s winners: Almost Studio (Brooklyn, New York), Sala Hars (Mexico City), and Fondamenta (Milan). The principals will share recent projects and work on the boards, as well as discuss their experience establishing an architecture firm.

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss the challenges and opportunities that arise when launching a new firm.
2. Outline the trajectories of the three presenting offices and discuss how the firms push the boundaries of conventional practice. 
3. Describe how experience in construction and experimentation with new materials can help diversify and enrich architectural practice.
4. Discuss the value and importance of exploring a variety of program types and scales when launching a new firm.
