Issue devoted to emerging young talents
The guest editor for the December issue of l’ARCA is Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi, a well-known architecture critic, who, for some years now, has been busy seeking out and drawing attention to talented young people in the world of architecture. Prestinenza Puglisi has decided to use the various pages at his disposal to parade all the latest ideas, trends, projects and professional expertise, which, thanks partly to projects undertaken by his website/workshop press/Tfactory, are gradually emerging on the international scene.
To complete the pages handled by the guest editor, the rest of the magazine is devoted to “Talented youngsters”, whose careers l’Arca is following with careful attention. This issue features some of the architects whose preferences and experimentation – into new materials, formal and functional aspects and new technology – are shaping the near future.
