What's On

RIBA North, The Building Centre and RIBA Chartered Practice dRMM present Forest of Fabrication, an exhibition celebrating the possibilities and significance of modern timber architecture.

On the centenary of the Bauhaus school, one of the most famous and influential design schools in modern history, this exhibition looks afresh at the birth of Modernism in Britain.

This display draws on the RIBA’s unique holdings to demonstrate both the range of Moholy-Nagy’s British work and the strong ties that he established with modernist architects in Britain.

​The annual RIBA President's Medals exhibition showcases the talent of students, nominated by schools of architecture across the globe for the RIBA Bronze, Silver, and Dissertation Medals. These are widely regarded as the most prestigious awards in architectural education worldwide.

With new dates announced for 2020, visit the magnificent home of architecture and hear about the places and faces behind George Grey Wornum’s winning design for the RIBA on Portland Place. Hear about the RIBA’s 185-year history as our dedicated educators walk you through the design and evolution of our landmark art deco building.

RIBA is celebrating the launch of their brand new office in the Gulf with lunch at the Shababeek Restaurant. This will be followed by opening remarks from Mehdi Taher, HM Deputy Consul General from the British Embassy in Dubai, and Clem Brohier, COO of RIBA, at the Masrah Al Qasba theatre. The event will conclude with a talk by Dara Towhidi, a partner and architect at Foster + Partners.

RIBA joins forces with the cross-disciplinary campaign group Part W, to highlight and celebrate the work of overlooked female designers of the Modernist movement in Britain.

There is nothing new about terrorism in the UK and we have learned a lot from its history over the past 100 years and beyond. This seminar will demonstrate how good design can reduce opportunities for terrorist’s activity, as well as casualties should a terrorist attack occur. Using case studies and simulation, the session will discuss mitigation measures during concept and design stages.

Join the RIBA and VocalEyes for a guided tour of the RIBA’s Bauhaus and László Moholy-Nagy exhibitions, followed by a creative activity.
