New World Blood


The website New Italian Blood has been conducting a survey among its readers and calling it New World Blood, even though it's not even considering any countries outside the European Continent. People reading the pages nominate who they consider to be the best emerging architects under 40, building a list of the top 10 with links to their websites and naming about 25 runner ups. As of now four countries have been listed, Spain, Portugal, France and Denmark. With Germany coming soon and Britain, Netherlands, Slovenia, Austria and Switzerland to follow.

It reminds me of the list of the 101 of the most exciting new architects that Wallpaper magazine published about two months ago. The basic difference, aside from the way the lists are presented, is that Wallpaper does include the rest of the world. Although there are no Caribbean countries included.

Be sure to visit both of them, It's definitely interesting. I haven't visited all of the architect's websites on these lists, but I know a few of them, and they are worth a look.
