Proposal Description: PARADIGME

PARADIGME is a new interdisciplinary anthology developed in collaboration with the Oslo Architecture Triennale 2026. It gathers contributions from young professionals under 40 working within and around architecture, including fields such as ecology, planning, geography, and the arts.

The book responds to two intersecting challenges: the ecological crisis and the limited space young voices have in architectural discourse. While topics like nature and sustainability are increasingly present, they are often treated as add-ons rather than core premises. Through essays, interviews, projects, and visual works, PARADIGME explores what it could mean to put nature first - ethically, professionally, and spatially.

We aim to highlight voices that remain underrepresented in public conversations, and to open a space where emerging perspectives can shape how we think about architecture's role in a changing world. The project seeks not to offer a single vision, but to host multiple inquiries into how built environments intersect with environmental, social, and political realities.

The editorial team consists of four young professionals with backgrounds in architecture, political science, and art. Together, we share a commitment to creating thoughtful, critical, and accessible discourse. We see PARADIGME as the beginning of a broader platform for interdisciplinary publishing and public engagement.
