What's On

An exhibition at RIBA North providing a glimpse of the six schemes shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize 2018

A collaborative display by the V&A+RIBA Architecture Partnership. Drawn from the RIBA Collections and V&A archive, this display presents six UK social housing projects from the last 100 years, each with an experimental approach in addressing the provision of a home for all.

Visit the home of architecture and hear about the places and faces behind George Grey Wornum’s winning design for the RIBA on Portland Place. Our dedicated educators will walk you through the history and design of our landmark building before concluding the tour with an introduction to our forthcoming exhibition.

What does community architecture look like? Making It Happen tells the stories behind four very different examples of new or reimagined public areas. This immersive exhibition charts and celebrates the coming together of communities and architects to craft and create spaces that work for all.

​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, widely regarded as the most prestigious awards in architectural education worldwide.

​Timed to coincide with the presentation of the Royal Gold Medal 2019 to Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, this free exhibition at Portland Place charts the story of his career from the 1960s to the present day.

This February half term, join us for this architecture course for young people aged 15 to 18. Over three days, participants will learn what an architectural project entails as well as developing photography skills, creating architectural drawings and constructing 3D models that demonstrate their proposal for a flexible space with community purpose.

This February half term join us for this architecture workshop for children aged 11 to 15. Participants will explore how location, form and materials in architecture can make a building more sustainable. We will then design and build model structures that will make the next generation proud.

We need low energy for every project, not just the green exemplars. This seminar will give you the knowledge to assess cost and energy implications of your design decisions, so performance can be imbedded, rather than bolted-on.

This February half term, join us for this architecture workshop for children aged 11 to 15. Participants will consider how the needs of people change over time and where we might live in the future. Using paper engineering and pop-up design techniques, they will create a 3D cross-section of a model house that shows how it has been adapted to accommodate the future needs of its inhabitants.
