It seeks to discover the young place-makers of tomorrow, flipping the script on who gets to design and curate cultural spaces. It seeks to empower young Londoners to design and build a temporary pavilion that embodies and discovers what it means for young people to take up space in their city, whilst inspiring a generation of young designers, makers, and creatives.
