At AD we perpetually celebrate architects and designers—they are our rock stars—but we do so with particular intentionality in our annual AD100 issue, which includes our much-anticipated list of the most exciting talents in the world. The exceptional projects featured this month have been in the works for many years, and AD has often been tracking them for a long time prior to publication: It’s a process! However, no one has more patience, faith, and vision than the homeowners themselves, without whom these inspirational, ambitious spaces would obviously not exist.
