Metropolis covers all aspects of design—from architecture to interior design, products to wayfinding, landscape design to urban planning—for an audience of design professionals. Its coverage ranges from conception to realization, from sketches to managing the building. Metropolis sees good design as a collaborative process that results in designs that are sustainable—kind to people and the environment—yet efficient and cost–effective.

We are especially interested in projects that illustrate innovative design approaches or unconventional responses to typical problems in:

• single-family (though we publish few in this category) and multi-family interiors and exteriors
• public work, such as schools and health facilities
• graphic design
• product design
• commercial work

Each year we cover the evolving workplace, educational buildings, and new or forgotten materials or technologies.
