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.

​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.

Frida Escobedo will discuss recent projects, including the 2018 Serpentine Pavilion. To date she is the youngest architect commissioned for the prestigious project.

​Join us for an evening with Laura Evans, 2016 recipient of the RIBA Boyd Auger Scholarship, as she discusses her research into Cuban Modernist Architecture.

​Join architect and the exhibition designer of Making It Happen, Takeshi Hayatsu, for a hands on in-gallery brick making workshop where each piece will have a distinctive design.

​The second instalment of the RIBA Book Club introduces Edinburgh-based, award-winning architect Richard Murphy, discussing his book Carlo Scarpa and Castelvecchio Revisited.

Explore and draw some of London’s newest and dynamic public spaces. Using the RIBA’s rich collection as a starting point, you will learn about the history and development of the King’s Cross area before taking to the streets to learn new architectural drawing skills using a variety of tools and techniques. For ages 18+ and all abilities.
