Rehabilitating disused underground spaces, reflecting on the new ways to build from flexible membranes or designing products with new materials are some of the topics covered in the various activities and conferences scheduled for next week at the Actiu Showroom in London, one of the most populated spaces during English design week. Following its slogan “Always on the move”, Actiu has transferred its enthusiasm and proposes an attractive program of activities which will include some of the leading International experts in design, interior design and architecture, from the well known studios such as Gensler, the Architecture studio, Zaha Hadid, or the Heatherwick studio, to discover the latest advances in technology, materials, products and design spaces.

Three intense days at Actiu Showroom in London, located at 28, Seward Street Clerkenwell, to add expertise to this huge laboratory of trends that is Clerkenwell Design Week. On Tuesday May 19, from 6.30-8pm, Gensler, winner of the best conceptual project for the London Underground, will offer his views on the future of this infrastructure to understand how London could regenerate disused underground spaces and infrastructure over a new dynamic network of urban links.
