London Festival of Architecture 2010

Established in 2004, LFA is a celebration and exploration of buildings, streets, spaces and places in the capital and highlights London’s reputation as an international creative hub. Since its inception, LFA has engaged and excited a new audience helping to place architecture firmly at the forefront of the cultural agenda and shift its status from a specialist interest for the few, to an essential consideration for the many.

The Festival in 2010 will be a city-wide celebration of architecture in the capital. As London gears up for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games we look at ways that planners, architects and local communities play their part in the development of 'The Welcoming City'. Everyone is invited to join the Festival community, to develop projects to take part in debates; to investigate ways that London can be made a better place to live, work and play; to explore the city through guided walks and bike rides and to examine change in the capital in a celebratory way. A wide range of independent events will surround a number of core activities - some focused on high profile weekend events - others taking place throughout the Festival period.

The festival is working in partnership with:

• London Festival of Architecture
• New London Architecture
• The Architecture Foundation
• RIBA London
