This week, the design world seems to look to the future, either through late night art or through seminars and talks. Walk around Canary Wharf, studying its civic successes in its mere 28 years, or visit nearby University of Greenwich as it exhibits the works of its Architecture and Landscape Department. This week is also the last of this year's London Festival of Architecture, so it is perhaps fitting that it has a decisively future-thinking atmosphere.
Check back regularly to keep up to date with London's latest happenings and our weekly recommendations.
New London Neighbourhood Tour - Canary Wharf | 27 June
Love it or hate it, Canary Wharf is a huge planning success. The transformation of the site to financial hub will be outlined on this tour, including the notable works of architects including Foster + Partners and SOM.
And
The last Friday of
the month, as usual, provides its regular selection of art lates. This Friday,
both the V&A and the TATE Modern have some great workshops, talks, and
exhibitions to make your end of week. Join V&A with their focus on the
future, and how imagined worlds could reveal possibilities for tomorrow's
landscapes and influence today's choices. Over the river, TATE will be
celebrating South London's art scene and history, including tying in with art
festival MERGE.
UWACTE – Networking Evening for Women in the industry | 27 June
This networking evening at the end of the London Festival of Architecture, is supported by patron Elliot Wood, and will be launching Urbano Women in Architecture Construction Technology & Engineering (UWACTE). The event is hosted by Urbano's Co-Director, Caroline Brock, and speakers will be women covering everything from BIM to Workplace Well-being.
