This week is somewhat focused on the development of the next generation in our field; workshops give advice to young creatives, and a panel is lead by emerging figures under 30 discussing iconic schemes. Talks on the regeneration of Moscow, and the lessons we can take from post-war Modernism also provide a springboard for discussion throughout the coming seven days.
This week also marks the last chance to visit the V&A's Undressed exhibition, and Gavin Turk's showcase at the award winning Newport Street Gallery.

With so many events focusing on the 100 year anniversary of the Russian Revolution, this discussion on the forgotten spaces of Moscow focuses on the relatively recent 1990s. Daria Paramonova will talk about the regeneration of the city over the past two decades.

The In Defence of... talks at Sir John Soane's Museum are as popular as predicted, with each week selling out quickly. This week's talk on Brutalism is already listed as fully booked, but don't miss your chance with next week's discussion of the Arts and Crafts Movement. As one of the most influential and widely spread movements in design, it is also famously divisive in its style.
