The forthcoming pavilion at Queen Victoria Gardens is the first Australian project for the 1995 Pritzker laureate known for his work with concrete.

This month's upcoming exhibitions include a Formafantasma-designed show at the Vitra Design Museum in Germany that explores the radical potential of garden design. 

Born in Philadelphia, the KPF co-founder was instrumental in the global growth of the New York-based firm best known for its high-profile civic and cultural projects and superlatively tall skyscrapers. 

Heralded for his “subtle yet powerful, subdued yet elegant” work, the 52^nd Pritzker laureate is the first British architect to be awarded the prize since Richard Rogers in 2007.

British-born Freear joined the design-build program at Auburn University in 2000, and has made scalable, low-cost housing solutions for impoverished rural communities a primary focus.
