Participatory laboratories developed with children, teenagers, and local communities.

Labs combine architectural thinking, games, digital culture, spatial research, and collective imagination to explore contemporary questions through public and experimental formats.

Projects may include:

• game design and civic play
• city walks and spatial research
• meme cultures and digital behaviours
• collective storytelling
• temporary occupations and public actions
• exhibitions and documentation

Formats range from short workshops to multi-day laboratories and public programmes.

Temporary pavilions and para-institutional interventions responding to specific sites, cultural events, or institutions.

Rather than representing official narratives, Unofficial Pavilions operate through children’s perspectives, impossible conversations, civic rituals, and alternative forms of gathering.

These projects may take the form of:

• public happenings
• pavilion structures
• urban interventions
• performative situations
• media actions
• site-specific installations
• collaborative publications

Each pavilion is developed uniquely for its context.

Foreign Pavilion collaborates with educational and cultural institutions through experimental pedagogies and public formats.

We work with schools, museums, architecture platforms, festivals, municipalities, and independent initiatives interested in participation, public imagination, and new forms of cultural engagement.

Possible formats include:

• workshops and assemblies
• talks and presentations
• educational programmes
• collaborative research
• public events and interventions
