Norman Foster/Foster + Partners

Shigeru Ban
Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban has made headlines twice in the last year for his designs for disaster-relief housing.

David Adjaye
David Adjaye has had a lot to shout about in the last year. With a host of new projects, competition wins and building completions, the London-based architect emerged as a genuine global superstar.
Ben van Berkel/UNStudio
Amsterdam firm UNStudio made news this year when it completed a two decade-long project to design a new station for the Dutch city Arnhem.
Jean Nouvel
French architect Jean Nouvel spent a lot of time in the news at the start of 2015, after he publicly disowned his Philharmonie de Paris. He seemed to be keeping a low profile after that, which could be the reason he ranked further down the Hot List than we might expect.
