THE BRITISH COUNCIL'S ARCHITECTURE DESIGN FASHION TEAM HAS SET UP A GRANT SCHEME TO SUPPORT PARTICIPATION BY UK-BASED DESIGNERS AND ARCHITECTS AT INTERNATIONAL BIENNALES AND FESTIVALS. 

Since 2016, ADF has supported presentations by UK architects and designers at various international platforms: São Paulo Architecture Biennial, Moscow International Biennale, Days of Architecture Sarajevo, Dhaka Arts Summit, Toronto Design Offisite, Beijing Design Week, Lisbon Architecture Triennale, Milan Salone del Mobile, Santiago Design Biennale and the central exhibition at the Venice Architecture Biennale.  

In 2020, UK biennales and festivals are also able to apply for support to present work by international designers.
