The Architecture Foundation of British Columbia (AFBC) is looking for architectural models for our first event of it’s kind, titled The AFBC Model Exhibition: Contemporary Craft.

This event will showcase a curated selection of architectural models alongside the evocative pottery and clay work of internationally celebrated artist Janaki Larsen and other local artists. We have reached out to select firms to submit their work, and are now holding a public call for complimentary submissions.

More about the Exhibition

We aim to bring together the architecture, design, and arts community for a 3 day exhibition showcasing high quality architectural work alongside the textured, raw, natural, studio and work of Vancouver based ceramicist Janaki Larsen and other local artists.

Participants and attendees are asked to reflect on the exhibition's theme of Contemporary Craft: where do traditional techniques of building/making appear in the work and the process within today’s highly digitized industry.

This exhibition is curated by the AFBC, selection will be made by the AFBC team for a limited number of invited participants and public submissions.

Submissions are open to all typologies, projects, scales, and materials (note physical size limitations within submission form). Firms, studios, registered individual practitioners, and students are all eligible for submission. Please note invited participation does not guarantee selection for the event.
