Meet the Team Behind REACT

As the city that never sleeps, New York City thrives on constant reinvention, becoming a merging point for intersectionality. We're a living case study in urban growth, leaders in upholding activism, and an international hub for culture and art. Through our theme, we aim to show the multitude of various ways that New York City reacts to critical ongoing issues. Our city’s various moving parts demand innovative architectural solutions, making it the natural home to many of the world’s major firms, projects, and architectural innovations. You might catch glimpses of us across the world, but you’ll find the whole world with us.
