Important civic and social assets are now extensions of the privatised realm, to which the public is granted conditional access. In conversation with architectural historian and curator Shumi Bose, Richard Rogers will share his reflections on architectural agency in the public service today. Rogers has proven to be an anomaly when compared to the waning relationship between architectural practice and government policy. Part of the lecture series between between UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) and the British Library on Rethinking Public Value and Public Purpose in 21st Century Capitalism this lecture asks how architectural intelligence can be better deployed in the public sector and if we can rebuild connections between architectural and urban practice and the state.

The book proposes alternative futures for the home, asking us to re-examine how we live through the lens of time. Contributors include Aditya Chakrabortty (The Guardian), Mark Cousins (AA), Tom Dyckhoff (BBC) and Verity Jane Keefe (UAL) among others. Published by The Spaces to accompany the British Pavilion’s exhibition of the same name at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale (commissioned by the British Council), the book Home Economics examines the changing frameworks – economic, societal, spatial – of contemporary life

This exhibition, presenting work by Pablo Bronstein with exhibition design by Apparata, is curated and researched by Shumi Bose. Fifty new drawings of contemporary buildings – constructed during the second half of the twentieth century but in an ostensibly ‘Georgian’ style – will be on display for the first time, alongside a selection of rarely-seen historical material from the RIBA Collections. The archival material chosen from the RIBA Drawings Collection situates Bronstein’s drawings in the context of architectural practice through time, revealing long-cherished ideals about social aspiration, urban fabric, identity and representation. Pablo Bronstein has collaborated with architecture practice Apparata (Nicholas Lobo Brennan and Astrid Smitham) to transform the RIBA’s gallery space into a domestic environment in which the obj...

This display presents six innovative projects from the collections of the RIBA and the Victoria and Albert Museum, each demonstrating a unique experiment in social housing design. A Home for All will place the current thinking around housing in a historical context; focusing on instances of innovation will emphasise and encourage further experimentation. Five historic schemes and one contemporary example showcase the way architects and local councils have experimented with design and process in response to the need for mass housing, experimenting with parameters of public participation, of form and design, and of successive visions of contemporary societal and domestic life. The display includes works from the RIBA collections by Neave Brown, Mary Duggan Architects, Ralph Erskine Arkitektkontor, Denys Lasdun, Tecton and the architectural departments within various local go...
