The Architectural League’s biennial Emerging Voices program spotlights North American architects, landscape architects, and urban designers who have significant bodies of realized work and the potential to influence their field.
Anda French and Jenny French of French 2D are 2026 Emerging Voices winners.
Founded in Boston by Anda French and Jenny French in 2012, French 2D’s work spans large-scale multi-family and micro-housing projects, public infrastructure, and cultural institutions. The firm employs what they call “strange housing types” across residential developments and installations, which challenge familiar domestic ideas through radical organizations and typologies. In their own words, French 2D’s work is grounded in “the pursuit of new forms of collective resilience, with a focus on the social consequences of material, thermal, and formal effects.”
