Be Recognized as One of the Top 100 A&D Graduates in North America

Metropolis wants to help students work in this profession. The Future100 is the connector of top talent with leading design firms. 

The Future100 program is back and open for submissions! Launched in 2021 by Metropolis, Future100 recognizes the top 100 graduating students from architecture and interior design programs in the United States and Canada and connects them with A&D firms across North America. This program is sponsored by Architecture and Design firms interested in recruiting a talented, diverse pool of candidates.

  • The most talented students from the class of 2024 apply, with nominations by instructors, professional organizations, and others.
  • Application materials include testimonials from nominators, academic record, and portfolio.

 

How it Works:

  • Student nominations will be reviewed by a group of experts led by Metropolis editor-in-chief Avinash Rajagopal.
  • The details of selected Future100 students will be shared with recruiters from A&D firms from across the country.
  • The students will be featured in the spring 2024 print issue of Metropolis alongside recognition of their programs, nominators, and schools.
  • Future100 students, nominators, and schools will also be featured online in the spring of 2024.

 

Students Who Should Apply/Seek Nomination are:

  • Enrolled at public or private universities and colleges in the United States and Canada.
  • Enrolled in accredited architecture and interior design programs.
  • Enrolled in final studio courses (i.e. graduating in 2024) at undergraduate and graduate levels.
