AADRL at London Creates presents an evolving snapshot of architectural research, experimentation and collaboration developed within the programme over recent years. Since its founding in 1996, the DRL has explored advanced approaches to design, computation and fabrication, positioning architecture as a mode of enquiry capable of engaging with the challenges of our time.

The work on display spans scales from the city to the nanoscale, bringing together self-organised, international research teams whose projects challenge conventional architectural practice through collective intelligence, material innovation and technological experimentation. Rather than presenting architecture as a finished object, the exhibition reveals it as an ongoing process of research, speculation and collaboration.

Organised by Archisource and curated by ZHA, London Creates brings together leading architectural practices, engineers, designers and academic institutions, including AKT II, dFUEL, The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), Mamou-Mani Architects, Fab.Pub, Free Range and AADRL, alongside a programme of talks, workshops and demonstrations exploring the future of architecture, computation and design.

Exhibition Dates: July 16 – 26, 2026

Location: The Truman Brewery, London
