unbuilt
A parallel world of unrealised architecture and design.
Unbuilt explores the tension between absence and presence within projects that were never built. Through immersive installations, projections, drawings, and models, audiences are invited into imagined environments that almost existed.
The exhibition celebrates experimentation, ambition, and creative practice across disciplines.
Join us for the launch party and explore the exhibition after dark.
UNBUILT is an independent exhibition presented as part of Adelaide Design Week 2026, bringing together unrealised work by emerging architects, designers and artists.
Competition entries. Abandoned commissions. Speculative proposals. Ideas that almost made it — and others that never had the chance. UNBUILT takes over Hebart Hall, a State Heritage-listed former school in North Adelaide.
Drinks are on us. Music by Gencia.
Unbuilt Symposium
UNBUILT Symposium brings together local and interstate architects, designers and artists for a series of conversations exploring the ideas, circumstances and possibilities that exist around architecture that doesn’t get built.
Held across two sessions on Sunday 18 October. Tickets include access to both conversations and the UNBUILT exhibition at Hebart Hall.
