Previous Competitions


Portobello Pavillion 2018
Location: London, UK
Winning Practice: ArchitectureDoingPlace

The MoA has organised a half-day charrette where five practices were invited to develop a design idea for the pavilion. The participating practices were The Decorators, West Port and CompanyPractice ArchitectureOMMX and ArchitectureDoingPlace, all chosen for their community-based approaches.

All five practices developed exciting proposals that included elements of performativity, close engagement with the local community, innovative use of materials and modular structures, as well as attentive responses to the specificity of the site. Following the presentation of each project to the jury, the judging panel selected ArchitectureDoingPlace as the winning practice for their sensitive approach to the local context and attention to the rich history of Powis Square.
