Lulu Chair designed by Studio Juju will be showcased during Venice Biennale as part of the Singapore Pavilion ‘No More Free Space?’.

No More Free Space?, Singapore’s sixth showing at the International Architecture Exhibition since 2004, is a response to the biennale’s theme of “freespace” this year – which organisers have said describes “the generosity of spirit and a sense of humanity at the core of architecture’s agenda”.

The Singapore Pavilion was commissioned by the DesignSingapore Council and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), and curated by SUTD in collaboration with NUS’ Department of Architecture.

Tokyo Tribal designed by Nendo for Industry+ will be featured at the Common Good exhibition, happening at Powerhouse Museum, Sydney from 2 March onwards.

Common Good is a survey of contemporary design from the Asia-Pacific region that explores design-led responses to social, ethical and environmental challenges by a new generation of socially-engaged designers. Diminishing natural resources, population pressure and the preservation of our cultural heritage are among the issues explored.

Common Good profiles several key movements emerging in contemporary design practice through an expansive selection of innovative projects ranging from material explorations, contemporary craft, video game design, speculative practice and large-scale architectural interventions. The exhibition presents emerging sustainable design practices, international development initiatives and projects that demonstrate the ability of technology to generate social awareness and influence personal behaviour.

Common Good includes work from eminent international designers Nendo, Studio Swine, Bijoy Jain, Jo Nagasaka, Kwangho Lee and WOHA. Globally recognised local designers include Ken Wong, Lucy McRae and Henry Wilson.

Common Good is part of Sydney Design Festival 2018.
