Global design agency Matrix Design presents ‘Hand, Code, Matter: A New Flow for Spatial Design’: an installation exploring how emerging technologies are reshaping the future of architecture and interior design, while not losing sight of human creativity.

Bringing together the work of eight recent architecture graduates, the exhibition demonstrates how hand-making, drawing and artificial intelligence can work together to create spaces that are deeply personal, culturally grounded and emotionally resonant. ‘HAND’ represents human judgement and imagination, ‘CODE’ introduces artificial intelligence to support the designer's imagination ‘MATTER’ completes the design journey back to materials, furnishings and real-world delivery. The exhibition, curated by Pick Up Architecture and designed by Farrokh Aman illustrates how spatial design is enhanced through digital ideas whilst retaining an immediate connection to real materials, furnishings and delivery. ‘Hand, Code, Matter' delivers Lovspark AI design tool its first UK unveiling, and illustrates how ideas move from hand to code to matter: from human imagination, through AI-assisted design, into real materials and spaces.
