"'Don’t Panic’ is a new exhibition at The Architecture Foundation’s Yard Gallery that presents alternate visions for now and the near future that concentrate on the fragility of human behaviour.

‘Don’t Panic’ features films, architectural projects, design products and installations by recent graduates and tutors from the Royal College of Art. These address the realities of contemporary life that architects and designers usually ignore: fear, danger and the fragility of human behaviour. It embraces and celebrates a world full of contradiction and complication, a society obsessed with youth, beauty, media and celebrity, a society where what we believe to be true has more value than empirical truth, a society obsessed with itself and its own desires, a society searching for instant gratification, a society in which fewer than 50% of us describe ourselves as happy."

"Don’t Panic’ is curated by Gerrard O’Carroll, designed by Joel Dunmore and David Pierce with graphics by RCA students Quentin Walesch and Catherine Guiral."
