The London Festival of Architecture (LFA) has launched a contest for a series of £20,000 pop-up interventions on Exhibition Road in South Kensington [Deadline: 10 May 2021]
The ‘New Growth on Exhibition Road’ competition – supported by the V&A, Discover South Kensington and Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 – seeks innovative proposals for temporary structures which boost biodiversity while also stimulating cultural recovering following the pandemic which has seen many local museums temporarily close.

The call for concepts aims to create a ‘welcoming environment that is attractive and engaging for visitors, residents, students and people working in South Kensington, many of whom will be returning to the area after long absences.’ Three winning teams will each receive £20,000 – including a £3,000 design fee – to deliver their concept in time for the summer.
