On the Rise showcases the work of architects whose practices are expanding the possibilities of design through innovation, leadership, and community impact. Featuring built projects, research, drawings, models, and process materials, the exhibition explores how architecture can respond to contemporary social, cultural, and environmental challenges.

Part of AIA Philadelphia’s annual exhibition series, On the Rise highlights the recipients of the 2025 Young Architect Award and Philadelphia Emerging Architect Prize (PEA Prize): Lea Litvin, co-founder of LO Design, and Anada Architects, founded by Annie Barrett and Adriel Mesznik. Together, their work reflects a new generation of design leadership committed to collaboration, advocacy, and creating more resilient and inclusive communities.
