Six architecture and design events in December from Dezeen Events Guide
Difficult Sites: Architecture Against the Odds and Business of Design Week are among the architecture and design events featured in Dezeen Events Guide this month.
Other events taking place in December include Miami art week, Taiwan Design Week and A Fragile Correspondence in Dundee, Scotland.
Difficult Sites: Architecture Against the Odds
11 October 2024 to 31 May 2025, UK
Difficult Sites: Architecture Against the Odds is an exhibition by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), showcasing models, photography, drawings and plans of projects created under challenging conditions.
The exhibition spotlights projects by Carmody Groarke, Grimshaw Architects, KnoxBhavan, Neave Brown, Norman Foster and Tonkin Liu, built between the 1990s and present day.
Each building was designed and constructed under problematic circumstances, including the terrains, shape of the site and conditions of the remodel.
The exhibition is located at RIBA's headquarters in London.
A Fragile Correspondence
22 November 2024 to 25 May 2025, UK
A Fragile Correspondence is an exhibition originally created as Scotland's submission for the 18th edition of the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2023, and is now on display at V&A Dundee.
The exhibition responds to the biennale's theme Laboratory of the Future, exploring the relationship between architecture and landscape, finding ways to construct in connection to the planet, rather than using its resources.
Business of Design Week
2 to 7 December, Hong Kong
More than 40 talks are taking place during the 2024 edition of Business of Design Weeks, which is located at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
France has been selected as the conference's partner nation, resulting in collaboration in both Business of Design Week and the Paris-based trade show Maison&Objet 2025, which returns in January next year.
Over 50 speakers are participating in the summit, hosting keynote speeches and panel discussions that explore challenges in the design industry.
Miami art week

Annual festival Miami art week returns in 2024, with international galleries, artists and brands hosting exhibitions, fairs, markets, open showrooms and product launches throughout the week.
The festival's largest events include Design Miami, Alcova Miami and Art Basel Miami Beach.
Dezeen has launched its annual guide to Miami art week, this year featuring a map to help navigate the festival.
Taiwan Design Week
7 to 15 December, Taiwan
Taiwan Design Week hosts its second edition this year, focusing on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the industry through the theme The Gateway.
