The United Kingdom has officially launched a competition to design its national pavilion for the 2027 Venice Architecture Biennale. The announcement was made by the British Council, which oversees the UK's participation in the prestigious international exhibition.
The competition is open to architects, designers, and multidisciplinary teams based in the UK. The selected design will be built in the Giardini della Biennale, where the UK pavilion is located. The theme for the 2027 Biennale has not yet been announced by the organizers.
The deadline for submissions is expected to be in late 2026, with the winner announced in early 2027. The pavilion will be a temporary structure, reflecting contemporary architectural trends and the UK's cultural identity.
