Each year, the Design Museum supports emerging designers across disciplines, by providing them time and space to reflect on and develop their practice. The sevenmonth residency culminates in this exhibition exploring social housing, craft, smart home devices and concepts of time.

Exhibited in the first example of a building made possible by advances in computer-aided design, Architecture Effects looks at the cultural paradigm that ensued as the digital era redefined the industry. This is presented through the guise of other formative cultural shifts: social media, artificial intelligence and augmented reality.

Two of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance are celebrated side by side, telling the story of a fierce rivalry, paired with a mutual admiration for each other. Self-made painter and print maker, Mantegna, married into the greatest artistic family in Venice – the Bellinis. What ensued was a close creative dialogue, integral to both their own artistic development, and that of Renaissance art as a whole.
