What's On

​An exhibition on Rome - a first step towards the re-threading of an important tradition

​The RIBA has commissioned emerging London-based architects APPARATA (Nicholas Lobo Brennan & Astrid Smitham) to design a site-specific installation in the entrance to the RIBA’s landmark building at 66 Portland Place.

​This commission anchors around the work of British-Argentinian artist Pablo Bronstein, and his exploration of ubiquitous neo-Georgian developments as an exemplar of a genuine British vernacular, through new work and the RIBA Collections.

​Do you have a passion for conservation architecture? Have you already attended the RIBA four day conservation course or have a conservation qualification? Are you interested in developing your conservation and adaptation knowledge and skills further?

Take a guided tour of our Grade II* listed headquarters.

​Join the architect for a one off architectural talk and tour as they reveal the stories behind the building, what inspired them and what makes their building an RIBA Award winner.

​This seminar will discuss different aspects of traditional conservation materials including stone, brick, mortar, and timber, through the use of different case studies.

​This seminar will assist architects to get to grips with these changes and in particular will deal with a range of issues including Conservation Principles, changes at English Heritage and Heritage Statements.

​We will look at inclusive design principles and raise awareness of disabilities and medical conditions which impact on everyday interaction with the built environment.

​To celebrate the opening of the RIBA commission, A Hall for Hull, for UK City of Culture 2017, Chile-based architects Pezo von Ellrichshausen will discuss their distinct take on their work as ‘architectonic art’.
