This Autumn The Architecture Foundation presents a group exhibition showcasing speculative architectural futures explored in the work of recent architecture graduates.
Grounded in a solid engagement with pressing global issues of social, economic and environmental change, featured projects present innovative and provocative forms of architectural exploration.
From Burkina Faso to Florida, and from London to Beijing – a global range of case studies explore resourceful design solutions for retrofitting, adaptation and expanded modes of infrastructure. Featured projects range from spectacular pollution capturing façades and novel co-housing solutions from disassembled suburban housing to celebratory residential infrastructures in floodplains and innovative agrarian settlements in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Futures in the Making aims to share and explore these new ideas for architecture and infrastructure by a rising generation of architectural talent, and use the projects as a point of departure for further debates about the future of architecture and the profession.
Housed in the AF Project Space, the exhibition showcases an AF curated selection of drawings, models and research from the final projects of selected postgraduate students from London architecture schools.
A public events programme will punctuate and expand the themes of the exhibition – asking questions about what’s next for a generation of recent architecture graduates, and exploring future avenues for architectural education in the UK.
