EDUCATE: Yourself on all things design, craft and culture at MPavilion.

PSA fellow design fanatics: you have two weeks left to check out the free talks and events at this year’s Mpavilion, Australia’s leading architecture and design commission. An ongoing initiative by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation, MPavilion is a ‘cultural laboratory’ designed to platform the world’s most exciting creative minds while encouraging sharing and education within the community. There’s also plenty of fun non-design stuff too like live music, craft classes, dance parties and beyond. If you haven’t already stumbled upon the bright orange canopy nestled among the trees in Queen Victoria Gardens, that in itself is definitely worth a visit.

Each year, a leading architect is commissioned to design a new pavilion to become a cultural beacon for the city. 2022’s vibrant structure was composed by visionary Thai firm all(zone), who used predominantly fishing-net and waffled fabric to create a light, breezy canopy reminiscent of a big tree. Between the layers is a cutting-edge STFE membrane which reduces glare and holds water, keeping the Pavilion waterproof. Still on this year’s program is a host of incredible talks and performances including Intro to DJing with DJ Sarah, Dancing in the Park with Cavallo Nero, a talk on how green spaces can counter loneliness and so much more.
