Future100 students

Michael Bell is a graduate candidate for the Master of Architecture in 2025, nominated by Ammar Eloueini, Director of Graduate Architecture, Professor of Architecture, Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment. See Michael's portfolio.

"Michael’s work on memory in Architecture is remarkable. He was able to respond to complex site and programmatic issues while working on the memory of the place, weaving this theme throughout his design projects." - Ammar Eloueini

"I’m incredibly grateful to be part of this year’s Future100. Coming to architecture from a background in archaeology and anthropology, it’s a meaningful honor to have my work recognized as architecturally relevant. Being counted among so many talented students has given me the confidence to trust my instincts and passions as I continue shaping a career in design. More than anything, I’m proud to accept this recognition of my portfolio—and the thought behind it—as a reflection of the exceptional professors and colleagues who contributed so much to my education." - Michael Bell

Ben Cornett is an undergraduate Bachelor of Architecture candidate in 2025, nominated for Future100 by Adam Marcus, Associate Professor of Architecture, Tulane University School of Architecture and Built Environment. See Ben's portfolio.

"Ben’s work is exceptional for its conceptual ambition, its grounding in sophisticated social and ecological thinking, and its representational rigor. His projects engage in questions of domesticity at multiple scales, critically challenging the status quo to imagine new and alternative models of cohabitation and collective living." - Adam Marcus

"I feel extremely grateful to have been selected as one of twenty undergraduate architecture students for the 2025 Metropolis Future100 cohort. I want to say thank you to all my outstanding professors and peers who have pushed me further throughout my education, encouraging me to expand how I think about architecture, who it serves, and how it manifests in the environment. With an additional major in environmental studies, I have loved working in between disciplines to consider projects at multiple scales through the lens of performance, dynamism, and ecological systems. With this recognition of my work and collaboration over the past five years, I feel encouraged to keep pursuing these interests as I enter the world of practice!" - Ben Cornett

Brandon Gicquel is an undergraduate five-year Bachelor of Architecture candidate in 2025, nominated for Future100 by Iñaki Alday, Dean and Koch Chair, Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment. See Brandon's portfolio.

"Brandon is emerging as one of the top students in his generation, if not just the most remarkable designer. He uses his imagination and spatial capacities to deal with wicked problems and the complexity of the built environment in the era of climate change and social inequality." - Iñaki Alday

"I am honored to be selected as a member of the Metropolis Future100 Class of 2025. Thank you to Dean Iñaki Alday and Professor Wendy Redfield for nominating me for this recognition. I’m also deeply grateful to the faculty and staff at Tulane for their guidance and for continually challenging me to think critically about architecture and the architect’s role in society. With my passion and dedication to architecture, I hope to build space for equity and community. I’d like to use my creativity to compose original and innovative solutions to the overlooked aspects of the built environment." - Brandon Gicquel
