"...Over the next decade, the Millennial Generation will entirely recast the image of youth from downbeat and alienated to upbeat and engaged—with potentially seismic consequences for America." —Neil Howe and William Strauss, Millennials Rising: The Next Great Generation (2000)
With the oldest Millennials now in their early 30s, the seismic consequences of their coming-of-age are starting to have profound effects on the profession of architecture. The revolution has started. And as the profession scrambles to respond, the question is: Where will it lead?

The second significant event of the 1990s was the revitalization of the industrial city of Bilbao, Spain, which used architecture as a central way to redefine itself. ..Other cities in Europe and Asia in the 1980s held international competitions to revitalize various urban neighbourhoods (e.g., Berlin and Frankfurt, in Germany, and Nara and Fukuoka, in Japan), but Bilbao distinguished itself by making a deliberate effort to put itself on the world’s cultural map with the construction of a branch of the Guggenheim Museum (1991–97) designed by Gehry. Upon its opening, the building became an international success. Its angular, anthropomorphic exterior, made mostly of titanium, made reference to the industrial heritage of this city’s former shipyards while also providing a dynamic new image for Bilbao.
