Antepavilion 2026 , London / Vereinigtes Königreich

 

Antepavilion, London

 

For 2026, Antepavilion optimistically looks forward to a post-AI era in which craftsmanship finds a bigger place in the skill set of architects and re-use of materials becomes routine as they identify more with artists and craftsmen - leaving the drudgery of producing perfunctory buildings to the machines.  This year the competition’s long-standing encouragement of the use of reclaimed and recycled materials becomes an imperative.

 

The Antepavilion competition is open to everyone; no qualifications are required. We make available some specialist skills, particularly metalworking and structural engineering support if necessary. But the overarching requirement is that entrants must be able to make and install their work essentially themselves.

 

Closing date for entries: 27 March 2026

Winners announcement: 24 April 2026

Installation is to be completed: June or July 2026

Opening event for the 2026 Antepavilion: 1 August 2026
