NextGen 2025: Inspiring the future of construction

Join Article 25's NextGen event series, a dynamic platform uniting architects, engineers, and construction professionals aged 25 to 35. As part of the More Than a Building initiative, NextGen fosters a vibrant, multidisciplinary community dedicated to reimagining our built environment.

Our brand-new quarterly sessions blend thought-provoking questions, expert panels, and collaborative discussions. Each event is crafted to ignite ideas and cultivate bold solutions, culminating in networking opportunities that forge meaningful connections.

NextGen is more than a series of events - it's a movement.

Guided by Article 25's mission to deliver buildings that change lives, NextGen empowers professionals to tackle global challenges, from climate change to post-disaster recovery, through innovative construction practices. By connecting diverse voices and fostering bold ideas, NextGen builds bridges between today's leaders and tomorrow's pioneers.

See the upcoming events calendar below. The series kicks off on Monday 24th March 2025 at Wedlake Bell in London, with Rolton delighted to sponsor this first event. Speakers Lidia Guerra, Senior Engineer & Partner at Max Fordham, Toby Pear, Senior Architect at Article 25, and Peter Rolton, Chairman at Rolton, will discuss the future of specialist education design through the award-winning Collège Amadou Hampaté Bâ project in Niamey, Niger.

Article 25’s NextGen events are fantastic for younger professionals like me who missed out on networking during COVID, offering a chance to connect with like-minded peers. I value the multidisciplinary forum for enabling collaboration across all sectors of the built environment. The events are informal, informative, and genuinely fun."
