The Barbican Centre in London will host the 34th World Design Congress in September 2025, marking the event’s return to London after 56 years. Organized by the UK’s Design Council, the Congress will gather over 1,000 design professionals, business leaders, researchers, and educators to discuss global design issues.
The event will coincide with the London Design Festival and feature regional activities to highlight the UK’s central role in the global design community. The Barbican, known for its iconic brutalist architecture, was chosen for its unique design and cultural significance.
The Congress will align with the Barbican Renewal Programme, which aims to enhance public and creative spaces sustainably without expanding the building’s footprint. The event’s theme, “Design for Planet,” will focus on design’s role in combating climate change.
