Visit this interactive display of architectural pieces designed for dogs with your four-legged friends, as part of Japan House London's Architecture for Dogs exhibition.

The structures have been designed for dogs by world-class architects and designers, and will be touring some of London’s most popular dog-walking sites this summer, including the Horniman.

Each architectural piece is designed with a different dog breed in mind and offers a playful and insightful exploration into architecture and design that can be joyful for both dogs and their human companions.

About the Architecture for Dogs exhibition at Japan House London

Featuring a collection of architectural designs for dogs by world-class architects and designers including Ban Shigeru, Kuma Kengo and Itō Toyō, the internationally acclaimed Architecture for Dogs made its European debut at Japan House London from September 2020 with the addition of a brand new piece by eminent UK architect, Asif Khan.

While the physical exhibition has moved on, guests are still able to visit the exhibition virtually.

Far from being just an exhibition, this open-source network allows guests to become designers and makers themselves, with blueprints available for download and opportunities to design one’s own architecture for dogs.

The exhibition and the roadshows are supported by the London Festival of Architecture and is part of the London Design Festival.

Guidelines on visiting the Roadshow

Dogs are welcome to interact with the Roadshow display pieces. Please note the following rules to ensure everyone’s safe enjoyment of the interactive display:

  • Only one dog at a time can interact with each display item. Other visitors will be asked to wait in the socially distanced queuing area.
  • All dogs must remain on a lead and be kept under control at all times when using and waiting to use the displays. (Owners will be asked to move their dog away from the display area if other visitors (humans or dogs) are disturbed by it.)
  • You are responsible for clearing up after your dog.
