Dezeen Hot List 2016 Archive

Moroso

Placed at 80 in our overall Hot List and 19 in our ranking of brands is Italian furniture brand Moroso – one of Italy's most influential design brands.

London School of Economics

The London School of Economics and Political Science enters our Hot List with a pair of faculty buildings – a new student centre designed by Irish architects O'Donnell + Tuomey and a proposal by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners for a social sciences hub.

Converse

Last year footwear brand Converse redesigned its iconic canvas basketball shoe and this year the popularity of that story has propelled the brand to number 81 in our inaugural Dezeen Hot List.

Unsurprisingly, the biggest story to emerge this year regarding London school the Architectural Association (AA) centres around Zaha Hadid – the great architect that we lost this year and who tops our Hot List.

Studio Job

TU Delft

A drone that could fly to a patient suffering from a heart attack is one of a series of transport-related design projects by Dutch university TU Delft, which comes in at school number eight in our Hot List.
