Harwood Building

A New Normal is a future-prototype hub at the heart of the Vivid Sydney action. Here, all ages are invited to connect with projects that will be built in the near future by some of Sydney’s leading minds in architecture, engineering, design and culture. 

Part-gallery, part-pavilion, part-meeting place, you’re invited to immerse yourself in this optimistic vision of a more sustainable, self-sufficient Sydney.

See concepts like circularity, zero waste, renewable energy and unlimited water translated into tangible designs and applications. Discover how these important topics are translated into practical projects across greater Sydney to speed up our transition to a greener future.
