Lawrence Lek 
Greenwich University Year 1 Architecture Design Tutor:


Celebrating new and emerging design talent, the Design Museum’s annual Designers in Residence programme supports designers at an early stage in their career. Now in its fifth year, the residency demonstrates the museums commitment to showcasing and supporting the next generation of design talent. Selected via an open-call, this years residents will be Freyja Sewell, Harry Trimble and Oscar Medley-Whitfield, Lawrence Lek and Yuri Suzuki. The finalists were asked to respond to the brief ‘Thrift’ and to explore the idea of economy and resourcefulness in an object, an environment or an experience, the results will be displayed in the Design Museum from 5 September 2012 – 27 January 2013. Asif Khan, Designer in Residence 2010 and currently working with his new practice Pernilla and Asif, will be the exhibition designer. 


Lawrence works as a sculptor, industrial designer and architect and will continue his investigation into the processes of natural growth and industrial fabrication through modular sculptural objects and environments. His work has been exhibited and performed in Japan, New York and London at the ICA and The Roundhouse. Born in Frankfurt to Malaysian- Chinese parents, Lawrence studied at Cambridgeand the Architectural Association.
