Common Ground: Curated Connections Launch Invitation | London Festival of Architecture 2026
The Creative Project Foundation, together with On&On Designs, Fletcher Priest Architects and the Fleet Street Quarter BID, announces Common Ground: Curated Connections, the fourth edition of the Curated Connections series, opening on 1 June 2026 as part of the London Festival of Architecture.
We are delighted to invite you to the launch of Common Ground: Curated Connections, a new installation.
Hosted by Fletcher Priest Architects, one of the United Kingdom’s leading architecture and design practices, the evening brings together architecture, craft and cross-cultural collaboration.
The Installation
Throughout June (9.30- 6.30pm link to details), the Fletcher Priest studio and garden host an installation by three leading Polish design studios, blurring the line between interior and public space. Visible from the street through the studio’s glass façade, the exhibition spans both the gallery and garden.
● Zieta Studio - Architect and designer Oskar Zięta's studio is known internationally for FiDU technology, a process that inflates flat steel into complex structural forms. The bench element from the public sculpture ‘Whispers’, now resident at Ludgate Hill Fleet Street Quarter (with iterations also shown at Maison&Objet in Paris, Impact '26 Poznań and ICFF NYC’26) will be reimagined in the Fletcher Priest garden. First shown at the LFA 2025, the piece extends the sculpture's dialogue with the surrounding city.
● Pani Jurek - The Warsaw-based studio run by Magda Jurek and Michal Borecki works at the boundary of ceramics, architecture and material culture, treating the fired clay object as both craft and spatial element. Their work occupies the interior gallery, where the handmade holds its own alongside the built.
● Katarzyna Krej - Glass designer and sculptor Katarzyna Krej creates delicate, atmospheric works exploring colour, transparency and light through traditional glass-making techniques. Her biomorphic sculptures, formed by pulling softened glass into fine woven threads, bring intimacy and quiet intensity to the installation's interior spaces.
Curated by On&On Designs and designed by MM-L Studio, the installation explores materiality, space and shared perspectives within the city.
