Molteni&C is proud to continue its partnership with The World Around, the dynamic nonprofit platform advancing the dialogue between architecture, culture, and social transformation. Now in its sixth year, the Annual Summit serves as the centerpiece of The World Around’s programming—bringing together pioneering voices across architecture and design to engage with today’s most urgent global issues.

Taking place on April 27th at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the 2025 Summit coincides with Earth Week and is co-curated by Beatrice Galilee, Director of Strategic Projects at Fondation Cartier, and Carson Chan, Director of MoMA’s Emilio Ambasz Institute for the Joint Study of the Built and the Natural Environment. The full-day event is accessible via a ‘pay-what-you-can’ ticketing system and is designed as an immersive, interdisciplinary forum for sharing visionary, actionable ideas that shape the built environment. The program features presentations from architects and designers on the front lines of ecological, cultural, and technological innovation, including Anne Holtrop, Salima Naji, Douglas Cardinal, and Jung Youngsun. In a standout session, the winners of the Young Climate Prize will present their life-changing projects—ranging from desert-based hydroponic farming to clean-energy solutions for rural communities—spotlighting the power of design to address the climate crisis from the ground up.
