The London Festival of Architecture is on the lookout for emerging architects to create the second ever ‘Dulwich Pavilion’ - a temporary outdoor visitor welcome space within the historic grounds of Dulwich Picture Gallery. It will be opened in summer 2019 following a public exhibition of the shortlisted designs during the A&D event – taking place this June.
Last year marked the first ever 'Dulwich Pavilion' entitled 'After Image' by Bermondsey-based practice IF_DO. As well as helping the Gallery to overcome constraints for learning activities, attract new audiences and broaden its appeal to a wider demographic, the pavilion achieved critical acclaim and won multiple awards.

The two institutions are inviting emerging architects to submit a portfolio-based expression of interest to design the second ‘Dulwich Pavilion’. "The primary objective of the 2019 structure will be to offer visitors a refreshing welcome and orientation space to set the tone for their visit."
The Gallery’s original building by Sir John Soane is widely recognised as an architectural masterpiece, and the competition organisers are looking for responses that reflect Soane’s innovative, high quality and problem-solving approach.
Following shortlisting by a panel of industry experts and cultural figures, models by six practices will be on public display at the Dulwich Picture Gallery from June-July 2018 as part of this year’s London Festival of Architecture.
