At Home in Britain: Designing the House of Tomorrow | Opens May 18, recommended by Amelia Taylor-Hochberg

What better time to consider the future of housing typologies and cultures when London is in the midst of a housing crisis, “smart” technologies promise to revolutionize our domestic interactions, and the very notion of the family-unit is being rewritten? Taking the classic types of the flat, cottage and the terraced house as starting points, a selection of architects reinterpret these forms for tomorrow's homes. The free exhibition is coordinated with a three-part BBC4 series, looking at the history of the three housing types.

Inspired by an Archigram project, “Instant City” is an initiative that seeks “to bring together disparate parts of society in art by means of provisional performance spaces.” “Dada on Tour,” a delegation of Zurich-based performers and artists, will infiltrate Underdog Art Gallery in Southwark with an inflatable tent. Should be hectic and fun! Just be sure to book your ticket in advance.

Through each artist's individual styles, the exhibition is a photographic exploration of architectural, open and interior space that also “reveals a range of artistic photographic practices in Eastern Europe from the 1970s to the present.” The exhibition is open now until May 28.
