What's On

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

The ​Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts celebrates its 40th anniversary with a major architecture exhibition including the work of Norman Foster and Richard Rogers.

​Urban Splash profess to have started without a plan. At every step ‘it will never work’ has been a call to action rather than a discouragement. This exhibition explores 25 years of Urban Splash's RIBA Award winning projects in the context they were created and against the specific challenges and opportunities of the day.

Disappear Here: On perspective and other kinds of space is a new commission by Sam Jacob Studio which leads the visitor through deceptive murals, cunning architectural structures and a newly commissioned film to trace the lineage of perspective across centuries and technologies.

​​Hear from architecture practices who are redefining post-digital architectural representation.

​What might London look like now if we had made different architectural choices over the past decades and centuries? To celebrate London History Day we’ll be exploring proposed, often radical – but never realised – building designs for London through architectural drawings in the extensive RIBA Collections. Discover a selection of unbuilt designs that had the courage to imagine new ways of living and working in London, and get a glimpse of what London’s future might look like, through current architectural projects by practicing architects.

Get a new perspective on the RIBA and take a guided tour of our Grade II* listed headquarters with a short introduction to our new exhibition, Disappear Here.

Mark Latham (Regeneration Director) of Urban Splash gives a guided tour of the exhibition telling the wider story of the award-winning projects that are highlighted.

​​As part of our 'It Will Never Work' exhibition, marking 25 years of Urban Splash, we are delighted to be hosting a special evening event on Housing. Urban Splash will be joined by an invited panel of contributors to talk about their experience of shaping neighbourhoods, housing quality and offsite manufacturing.

Join Pooja Agrawal and Finn Williams, Public Practice; Indy Johar, Architecture 00; and Hadrian Garrard and Diana Ibáñez López, Create London to hear about the inventive ways architects and designers are being empowered to deliver projects for the benefit of the many, not the few.
