London Festival of Architecture with RIBA

From 1 to 30 June, RIBA is hosting an exciting programme of installations, talks and events as part of the London Festival of Architecture, responding to the festival's 2023 theme: In Common

Programme highlights for the London Festival of Architecture at RIBA include a specially commissioned film installation, The Architect has Left the Building, which weaves together moments of architectural joy and intimacy drawn from the professional archives of renowned photographer and filmmaker Jim Stephenson.

RIBA, together with LFA (and sponsored by VitrA) will host the keynote lecture by internationally renowned architect, urbanist, landscape architect and co-founder of the Dutch practice MVRDV Winy Maas. We will also celebrate the launch of Deaf Architecture Front, a platform and collective aiming to create a bridge between Deaf communities and architectural/spatial practice industries. June will also see the return of RIBA Film Nights, exploring the fundamental relationship between the moving image and the built environment.

For the month of June, RIBA Late returns, bringing the programme together in one spectacular evening of activity you don’t want to miss.
