Sponsorship

Sponsorship opportunities

The RIBA has a variety of sponsorship opportunities and packages available which can be tailored to meet sponsors' objectives and budgets. 

Awards

The RIBA manages some of the profession’s most prestigious awards programmes|

 

 

Each one provides a wide range of sponsorship benefits and packages for each can be tailored according to a companies priorities and objectives.

Exhibitions, lectures, talks

The RIBA’s spectacular headquarters building at 66 Portland Place| houses three exhibition galleries offering an ever-changing programme of exhibitions from contemporary photography exhibitions through to award winning student work and the Stirling Prize exhibition. Its popular talks programme  attracts large and diverse audiences for lectures and seminars given by internationally renowned architects such as Frank Gehry and Lord Richard Rogers and other celebrity guest speakers.

Sponsorship opportunities include both full or partial sponsorship of the exhibitions and talks programmes as well as the quarterly 'What's On' publication, the RIBA Gallery Bulletin.

Sponsorship also enables us to tour our exhibitions around the UK to partner organisations, the RIBA nations and regions and architecture centres and schools.

Conferences

The RIBA Conferences in 2007 offer a wide range of sponsorship opportunities for companies wishing to interact directly with RIBA members. 

The RIBA Annual Conference 2008| in association with the RIBA Journal will be held in Paris.

Events

The RIBA - either alone or in partnership with others - stages a range of events to promote awareness and understanding of high quality architecture.

One of the highlights of the programme is Architect in the House where, in return for a donation to Shelter, members of the public get an hour-long consultation with a local architect. The programme receives extensive local, regional and national media coverage and offers sponsors the chance to reach a diverse audience while supporting Shelter's vital work.

Building Futures| is a programme run by the RIBA Policy department and was established to create a forum for discussion about the needs of society from our built environment and, consequently, the built environment professions in 20 years and beyond. The Futures Fair is an integral part of the programme, bringing together many of Building Futures' research themes and packaging them into a fast-paced day of ideas, exchange and interaction between a wide cross-section of groups and interests. Visualisations of the 21st Century City  is a student project working with architecture schools across the UK on projects that explore how we anticipate change within our urban environment 20 years from now, and practical solutions for managing those changes.

V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership

In 2004 the most comprehensive collection of architectural drawings and archives in the world moved to its new home at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The RIBA Collections contain work by all major British and many international architects - from Inigo Jones to Frank Lloyd Wright and Sir Norman Foster. Every period and style of architecture – from classical to gothic to post-modern - is represented. 

The V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership project provides not only a new home for the collections| but also study rooms|, an education room| and a major new architecture gallery| in the heart of the V&A and the first of its kind in a UK national museum. 

 
The V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership would like to express its thanks to all those generous donors without whom the project would not have been possible.

There is an ongoing exhibition and associated education programme at the V&A working at bringing architecture to new and even more diverse audiences, both of which are available for sponsorship with acknowledgment offered both at the V&A and RIBA sites.
