We are super excited to be exhibiting work at Mayrit!
Mayrit, Madrid’s Design and Architecture Biennial, is an event that merges design, architecture, and contemporary art in an international showcase held every two years. Its purpose is to position the Spanish capital as a creative hub for emerging talent.
The multi-venue biennial unfolds across various institutional and independent spaces throughout the city, featuring exhibitions, performances, conferences, and workshops that transform Madrid into an ephemeral laboratory of experimentation, new materials, and disruptive proposals for rethinking the spaces we inhabit.
The theoretical framework for the 2026 edition, (Super)Models, has been developed by Mohammad Salemy and Eduarda Neves. Models are representations that simplify and structure concepts or systems in fields such as science, technology, and governance.
As they grow in complexity, they become «supermodels», mechanisms that not only reflect reality but also produce it. These supermodels mediate complexity, anticipate behaviors, and build narratives that shape our perception of the world. Through design, art, and architecture, (Super)Models explores the duality between reproducing existing models and generating alternatives that expand our understanding of reality.

Last night we celebrated the official opening of Falcon Road Bridge, marking a powerful milestone for a project rooted in community and context.
Working with GPAD, MRG Studio, Sutton Vane Associates, Smiling Wolf, and AJ Wells, we have transformed the neglected underpass into a brighter, safer, community-owned public space shaped by local voices.
Shaped through extensive community engagement, the scheme responds to local concerns while celebrating Wandsworth’s identity. Huge thanks to everyone involved.

The newly improved Falcon Road rail bridge in Clapham Junction has been transformed from a dark, notorious underpass into a safer, brighter and highly graphic gateway, combining infrastructure upgrade with a piece of large-scale public art. Wandsworth Council’s “Decade of Renewal” scheme has introduced new artwork cladding along both walls, dynamic and enhanced lighting, pigeon‑proofing, a new paint system to the bridge structure and landscaping on the south side, all developed through a design competition and extensive community engagement.

The Festival of the Future, hosted by Beyond the Box CIC in collaboration with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), was a pioneering two-day event held on March 14–15, 2025, at RIBA’s London headquarters.
Designed to inspire and empower young people aged 0 to 25, the festival showcased diverse pathways into careers within the built environment through creative workshops, educational talks, and hands-on experiences.
For the festival, we did a large scale creative model-making workshop where young people designed towers.
