If two faces make a person untrustworthy, then Trevor Horne Architects' building for the Cabinet Gallery is a bald-faced liar, as the structure's cleverly designed exterior has [12 sides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neville-park). The Cabinet Gallery had previously been a roving exhibit, but the new building will serve as its [permanent home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-academy) from now on. It is located on the former site of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, which was a common venue for public entertainment in London from the 17th century through until the mid-19th century. With more than 200 years of entertaining Londoners behind it, the area was ripe for a new cultural installation, and Trevor Horne Architects has given just that. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Dodecahedral Architecture:** Exploring innovative building designs with multiple sides and angles, creating visually striking structures. - **Permanent Art Exhibition Spaces:** Developing dedicated venues for showcasing art installations, providing a lasting home for cultural exhibits. - **Revitalizing Historical Locations:** Transforming historic sites into modern cultural installations, breathing new life into forgotten spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture and Design:** Opportunities for architects to push boundaries and create unique, attention-grabbing structures. - **Art and Culture:** Creating permanent exhibition spaces to showcase diverse forms of artistic expression. - **Historical Preservation and Tourism:** Utilizing historical locations to establish cultural attractions and attract visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comprehensive Gallery Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dulwich-picture-gallery.md) - [Barn-Like Private Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boano-primontas.md) - [Industrial History-Inspired Art Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tannery.md) - [Hybrid London Townhouse Office](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spparc.md) - [Columned Entrance Family Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/6-columns.md) - [Pavilion-Style Art Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galeria-house.md) - [Modern Interpreted English Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eight-gables.md) - [Cloister-Style Sculptural Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meridiano.md) - [Conservation Area Monumental Townhomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arches.md)
