How can architecture foster inclusivity, dignity, and social equity?
The RIBA + VitrA 2025 talks programme explores the power of design to create positive change in communities. This year’s theme, Building Empathy, highlights the role of architects in shaping environments that are accessible, meaningful, and responsive to the people who use them.
Through a series of thought provoking talks, leading architects will share their approaches to empathy-driven design, social value in architecture, and creating spaces that encourage belonging. From community led housing to transformative public spaces, these discussions will showcase innovative solutions that create a lasting impact.
Join us as we examine the future of architecture; one that prioritises people, place, and purpose.
This 2025 series marks the seventh year of the partnership between RIBA and VitrA curating high-profile events exploring key themes in architecture and the built environment.
RIBA + VitrA Talks is sponsored by VitrA Bathrooms
