Venice Studio Melbourne at MPavilion

For seven days in January, Melbourne-based MPavilion will be transformed into a pop-up studio for architecture students worldwide, featuring a suite of short design studios and public programs hosted by international offices of architecture and urbanism.

This condensed satellite edition of the annual Venice Studio held in Italy each July aims to renew international conversation about Venice's architectural and urban complexities in light of present-day challenges and opportunities. The guest Programme Director is MAP studio, a Venetian practice and designer of the 2021 MPavilion.

This program has been developed in partnership with Scott Woods of Venice Studio and Melbourne School of Design at the University of Melbourne.

These studios are free and open to students worldwide—applications close Sunday, November 28.
