Call for Submissions: The Forum Installation 2027

The Forum at Fabrik invites students and emerging designers to propose a temporary spatial installation for a prominent public-facing site in the Gaslight District, one of Cambridge’s emerging cultural and urban destinations.

Created to support the next generation of designers, the program provides an opportunity to take an idea beyond drawings and models—to design, build, and present a full-scale work within an active public setting. Up to three proposals will be selected and realized sequentially over the course of one year.

Registration

Applicants must register by October 16, 2026 to participate in the open call.

Following a quick registration, applicants will receive the Site Information Package, including site photographs, dimensions, floor plans, sections, elevations, and other information required to develop the proposal.
