ARCHITECT@WORK UK 2018 ARCHITECT@WORK, the carefully curated two-day event aimed at architects, interior designers and specifiers, will re- turn to Olympia National Hall, London for its 2018 edition on 24th and 25th January. The two days are free for registered trade visitors and offers complimentary catering throughout the event, encouraging networking and downtime as well as deal-making. Over 100 leading international architectural suppliers will show- case new products and offer the latest innovations in surface solutions, lighting technology as well as interior and exterior fix- tures and fittings. All exhibitors go through a rigorous selection process, with an external judging panel overseeing the product selection, to ensure that this is one of the UK’s most highly re- spected trade shows of its kind. The theme for ARCHITECT@WORK 2018 is light. Everything from practical applications to more artistic endeavours related to light will be high on the agenda of the talks program. To compliment the talks programme ARCHITECT@WORK has produced a series of filmed interviews with some of the architects, designers and engineers who will be speaking. The @Work film series will be available online prior to the show and be broadcast on site. The SCIN Gallery will present LIGHT FANTASTIC, an exhibition that explores how light reveals itself and affects our interaction with materials. Other show features include exhibitions by DAPh and World-architects.com, and RIBA’s Pop-Up Book Shop for Ar- chitects and Designers.
