Winning students were nominated by their instructors and mentors, and hail from some of the best schools in the United States and Canada. Metropolis notes:
"[2024 Future100 students’] portfolios are awash with beautiful spaces and buildings, but beyond their visual prowess they demonstrate a deep understanding of their responsibility to make an impact through design. With empathy and maturity, they address community, culture, inclusivity, and sustainability through detailed research, fresh methodologies, and innovative materiality—establishing their rising star status and proving their merit as they embark on their careers."
