For this year's Architects Directory, we've opened up the minds of our 30 chosen studios, giving them a dream brief with just a few qualifications. Divided between town and country, the 30 conceptual structures shown here are intended as architectural provocations, practice statements that embody individual approaches, without ever losing sight of the economic and environmental concerns that have been pushed to the forefront of the agenda as never before.

Ellie Stathaki is the Architecture & Environment Director at Wallpaper*. She trained as an architect at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece and studied architectural history at the Bartlett in London. Now an established journalist, she has been a member of the Wallpaper* team since 2006, visiting buildings across the globe and interviewing leading architects such as Tadao Ando and Rem Koolhaas. Ellie has also taken part in judging panels, moderated events, curated shows and contributed in books, such as The Contemporary House (Thames & Hudson, 2018), Glenn Sestig Architecture Diary (2020) and House London (2022).
