Designed by Seoul-based architect Minsuk Cho, this year’s ‘Archipelagic Void’ pavilion features five distinct islands arranged around a central space. Inspired by Korean courtyards, this event will cover different exhibitions, performances and talks. Highlights include works by Barbara Kruger, Judy Chicago and Yinka Shonibare CBE.

4. London Festival of Architecture

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the London Festival of Architecture (LFA) is a month-long, citywide event highlighting architecture’s role within the urban infrastructure.

This fest’s mission is to open discussions around architecture and promote new talent. The lineup includes a special panel discussion by Holcim and Zaha Hadid Architects, Studio Lates, LFA Destinations and Neighbourhoods.

5. Designer Maker User Exhibition at the Design Museum

The Design Museum’s permanent exhibition, Designer Maker User, offers a comprehensive look at the development of modern design through the lenses of the designer, manufacturer and user. This exhibition covers various design disciplines — from architecture and engineering to, fashion and digital design. The ‘Designer’ segment is based on the phrase by the Italian architect Ernesto Rogers: from the spoon to the city. It explores how a designer’s thought process informs projects at every scale – from the smallest to the largest. The ‘Maker’ section covers the history of manufacturing, from Thonet bentwood cafe chairs and Model T Ford cars to robotic arms, mass customisation and 3D printing. ‘User’ display explores how design shapes communication, featuring iconic tech like the Walkman and iPhone alongside classic tools like the typewriter.

This exhibition is a must-visit for anyone interested in the evolution of design and its impact on everyday life.
