Chee-Kit Lai (of Mobile Studio Architects) has been working as Director of Exhibitions at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL to deliver in response to the global pandemic the first ever virtual end of year Summer Show.

Virtual show: www.bartlettarchucl.com (10 Sep – 2 Oct 2020)

The groundbreaking platform is developed by Hello Monday in collaboration with staff and students from The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. The virtual show features architecture projects from over 700 students across four different programmes. The online format focuses on students’ voice and recreates the immersive qualities of visiting the galleries at 22 Gordon Street, London.

It is amazing to see that the spirit of the Bartlett Summer Show was not lost this year, but rather it was shared and resonated in a much more global audience, which is amazing – and I’m very proud to be a part of it.

As part of the virtual show the Exhibitions team also produced the official Show Launch broadcast on YouTube, student-led online tours and Stories from The Bartlett live readings.
