Australia’s Naomi Milgrom Foundation has announced that Tadao Ando will design the latest—and tenth overall—iteration of MPavilion, the public art- and design–championing nonprofit’s flagship annual installation. The MPavilion itself serves as the centerpiece of a larger design festival of the same name featuring free public programming—talks, performances, and more— throughout the event’s five-month run at Queen Victoria Gardens in Melbourne.

The forthcoming work is the first commission in Australia for the self-taught, Pritzker Prize–winning Japanese architect, and the seventh non-Aussie MPavilion commission overall. Melbourne’s Sean Godsell of Sean Godsell Architects won the inaugural pavilion commission in 2014, with more recent awardees including Carme Pinós (Spain, 2018), Glenn Murcutt (Australia, 2019), Francesco Magnani and Traudy Pelzel of MAP Studio (Italy, 2021), and Rachaporn Choochuey of Bangkok-based all(zone), whose 2022 installation, designed and delivered by an all-female team, is currently on view through April 8 after first debuting last December.
