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.
Ann Lui, Craig Reschke, and Linda Chávez Baca of Future Firm are 2026 Emerging Voices winners.
Ann Lui and Craig Reschke founded Future Firm in Chicago in 2015, and Linda Chávez Baca joined the firm as a principal in 2023. Working closely with mission-driven non-profits, community residents, and small-business owners, the firm’s portfolio includes residential projects, arts and culture venues, public installations, and makerspaces. Believing that, in the firm’s own words, “architecture is both a tool for imagining and a means for building the world we want to live in,” Future Firm’s work seeks to expand the traditional scope of architectural practices, from raising capital and political will to proposing zoning amendments.
