Returning for its fifth year from November 5 – 25, the DESIGN Canberra Festival will continue to celebrate the ongoing growth and recognition of Canberra as a global city of design with the release of the full festival program of over 100 events.

This year some of the biggest names in design will join Canberra’s burgeoning design community to exhibit, speak and inspire audiences at the ACT’s fastest growing festival. Highlights include: one of the most significant Japanese figures in contemporary architecture, Kengo Kuma; Australia’s leading practitioner of the late 20th century organic style of architecture, Enrico Taglietti; Tim Ross and more.

Whether you’re a lover of design, travel, culture or simply enjoy getting amongst the action, the DESIGN Canberra Festival offers versatility to suit everyone’s taste. Food, wine and design are a feature of the 2018 program, celebrating the best from the Canberra region. Festival favourites – open studios, open homes and architecture tours – are back again in 2018. An opportunity to engage more deeply with design will be presented at three programs: the Enrico Taglietti symposium, an Urban Renewal forum, and Typism, a type artist conference.

This year’s festival theme will be ‘geometry’, referencing the city’s distinctive form and rich design history. The theme will explore the presence of geometry throughout the city, which creates human, creative and global connections.
