The Architectural League’s biennial Emerging Voices program spotlights North American architects, landscape architects, and urban designers who have significant bodies of realized work and the potential to influence their field.
In this lecture, two of the 2026 Emerging Voices presented their awarded work to the public.
Jack Becker and Andrew Linn founded B L D U S in Washington, DC, in 2013. Across its housing-focused portfolio, the firm prioritizes the use of natural materials both local, like oak and black locust, and renewable, such as cork and bamboo. This focus on unconventional building materials draws on the firm’s expertise across fields and trades, including architecture, development, and carpentry.
Founded in Querétaro in 1997 by Juan Alfonso Garduño Jardón and María de los Ángeles Garduño Jardón, g3arquitectos has developed a significant portfolio of civic and residential projects in the central Mexican region. Additionally, the firm has led urban strategy research to improve the quality of life in Querétaro’s marginalized communities and hosts the architecture conference Casa de Arquitectura.
This event was moderated by Isabel Abascal, co-founder of LANZA Atelier and a 2026 Emerging Voices jury member.
