What's On

Architects KHBT designed Un-veiled as part of the launch of RIBA North. Walk through, beyond and within iconic buildings across the north.

​You're invited to come along and help us build a city. All ages welcome.

​The opening exhibition at RIBA North will consider Liverpool’s long, often maverick, history of architectural ambition, its willingness to take risks and consider audacious schemes – a trait which has ultimately resulted in the dramatic and celebrated skyline we see today.

Part sculpture, part architectural installation, all play. The Brutalist Playground is a 2015 RIBA commission by Turner Prize winners Assemble and artist Simon Terrill, exploring post-war design for play.

The three selected 1:1 installations to be created at 66 Portland Place this Summer are by Max Dewdney Architects, Merrett Houmøller Ltd, and MMAS. These installations will occupy unexpected spaces within RIBA's HQ and question our shared boundaries on global, local and domestic scales.

This Summer, for the first time, Beyond Borders extends to RIBA North where you can explore the interactive 1:1 installation by Doing Bits Studio in the City Gallery.

​The exhibition “hautnah” shows - in schematized images - details of completed projects by JSWD Architects. Individually tailored solutions are the result of a precise site response to functions and needs analysis - producing structures that offer a protective, intelligent and efficient “outer shell”, which will also serve to tell the developer’s story.

​Joseph Sharples, curator of Liverpool(e): Mover, Shaker, Architectural Risk-Taker will guide you around our launch exhibition
