The World Around | MoMA | Summit 2026

The World Around is proud to co-present with The Museum of Modern Art its Annual Summit, a flagship convening dedicated to the now, near, and next of contemporary architecture and design. Now in its seventh iteration, the Summit brings together architects, designers, thinkers, and community leaders from around the world to share urgent ideas, emerging practices, and built work that expands the field’s social and ecological impact. Through keynote talks, short presentations, and cross-disciplinary conversations, the program spotlights new modes of making, partnering, and organizing—foregrounding equitable futures, climate intelligence, and cultural imagination—at the scale of objects, buildings, landscapes, and cities.
