This lecture at The Royal Academy will be their 28th Annual Architecture Lecture, and will be delivered by curators of the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale and founders of Grafton Architects, Shelly McNamara and Yvonne Farrell.

Mostly PoMo - Walking Tour | 14 July

The recent listing of James Stirling's No1 Poultry firmly puts post-modern (PoMo) architecture on the map for London. With around 20 more examples of the style built since Stirling's iconic project throughout the city, this tour will take walkers around both well-known and hidden examples of the style. 

RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship retrospective | Until 28 July

Visit this exhibition at the RIBA featuring the projects from eleven winners of the Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship. This prestigious and lusted-after grant is awarded to architecture students who show outstanding and original thinking in regards to the future of the urban environment.

New London Neighbourhood Tour - Shoreditch | 14 July

Take a tour around the trendy neighbourhood of Shoreditch with New London Architecture. This creative hub, once a redundant area of old factories and workshops, is now packed full of start-ups and independent cafes. This walk will open up the history of these once rubbish-strewn alleyways, and show how Shoreditch has become a vibrant and thriving neighbourhood.
