Over 100 leading international architectural suppliers will showcase new products and offer the latest innovations in surface solutions, lighting technology as well as interior and exterior fixtures and fittings. All exhibitors go through a rigorous selection process, with an external judging panel overseeing the product selection, to ensure that this is one of the UK’s most highly respected trade shows of its kind.
The theme for ARCHITECT@WORK UK 2018 is light. To honour this the SCIN Gallery will present LIGHT FANTASTIC, an exhibition that explores how light reveals itself and affects our interaction with materials. Light enhances architectural features and materials while also being a powerful emotional force that creates different experiences. The material exhibition will highlight surfaces that reflect light using fine glass granules, materials that transmit light using fibre optics or filters, what happens when light is absorbed into absolute darkness and how certain materials can transform light into energy. Exciting materials that play with light to create interactive spaces, such as translucent ceramics and glow in the dark bricks, will also be exhibited.
Specially for ARCHITECT@WORK, DAPh has created new work that fits within the theme of 'Architecture and Light'. DAPh, an abbreviation of Dutch Architectural Photographers, is a collection of specialised architectural photographers who, through collaboration and exchange of knowledge, elevate architectural photography to great heights. Among DAPh’s clients are architects, architectural magazines, construction companies and project developers.
World-architects.com will present their latest photography exhibition featuring an international selection of contemporary projects from prominent architects, landscape planners, engineers and designers. Up-and-coming practices will be shown alongside established firms to show a diverse cross-section of what the sector has to offer. World-architects.com Profiles of Selected Architects is a curated platform with a focus on contemporary architecture. This exhibition will be a visual feast for architects and designers alike.
The Pop-Up Book Shop for Architects and Designers will return to the 2018 edition of ARCHITECT@WORK UK. Organised and run by RIBA, this store will give visitors an opportunity to browse and purchase magazines and books that touch on a particular area of specialisation or interest.
