MISSION
The Architecture Foundation leads the conversation on the development of London and contributes to a global discourse about the architect’s changing role and responsibilities.  We pursue this mission through the delivery of an accessible public programme that makes space for emerging architects, groups historically underrepresented in the profession, and representatives of a wide range of related disciplines.  Exploring the architect’s capacity to combat climate change and systemic social inequalities represent central concerns of the programme.

PROGRAMME
We host debates, make films, commission critical writing, curate exhibitions, publish books and engage industry figures with the aim of improving the quality of the discourse around London’s built environment. The 2018 programme featured 120 live events, ranging in scale from building tours for 30 people to lectures delivered to audiences of 1900.

Now in its fourth year, the lecture programme, Architecture on Stage, is delivered in partnership with the Barbican Centre and has featured many of the best architects from across the world. Recent landmark publications have included New Architects 3, a guide to the best practices to have set up in the UK over the past decade, and Project Interrupted, a book presenting lectures by British housing architects.

The free-to-download London Architecture Guide app has enabled tens of thousands of Londoners to learn about the architecture of their city. Competitions and free workplace residencies directed at young practices have provided career-transforming opportunities. The New Architecture Writers programme for young BAME critics is cultivating a more inclusive discourse, while the Architecture Schools database is opening up conversations between students and academics in universities.
