Expression of Interest
From November 2024 to March 2025, MPavilion Season 11 will bring the pavilion and Queen Victoria Gardens to life.
Inspired by our unique site and design, we seek to create collective moments that meld art, design and architecture. We are an entry point for curious audiences and believe exceptional design doesn’t need to be understood to be felt.
We are a proving ground for experimentation and a platform for new ideas. We invite artists, designers, makers and collaborators to interpret Tadao Ando’s MPavilion inside and out in new ways and dream up extraordinary experiences that wouldn’t happen otherwise.

OUR VALUES
- Design excellence for all. We are an entry point for curious audiences and believe exceptional design doesn’t need to be understood to be felt. We aim to create collective moments that deepen engagement and appreciation of design, architecture and art in our everyday lives.
- We create an independent platform for new ideas and experiences. We elevate new voices and commission new work that wouldn’t happen without us. We are a proving ground for experimentation, but we program with intent.
- We value freedom of expression and respectful debate. We create culturally inviting and safe spaces for collaboration that embraces diversity in all its forms.
