NLA - New London Architecture

BREAKFAST TALK SERIES:

WALLPAPER* HAUSWORK TALKS (NOW SHOWING)
For this year’s London Festival of Architecture,
Wallpaper* will present a series of talks on innovative
new urban residential design.
Every year, Wallpaper’s August issue includes the magazine’s Architects Directory, a guide to the world’s most interesting and forward-thinking residential architects.
Each of the four HausWork* talks will be led by a distinguished British architect, who has featured in a previous Directory, plus two young architects – one British, one international – selected from the 2008 guide.
Each architect will present a project that addresses the
theme of the evening, revealing individual approaches
to the critical issues that face residential design, providing inspiration and provoking debate.
After the talks and a Q&A session, the audience will
be invited to the bar for a drinks reception.

Tickets priced £10

UNDERGROUND: LONDON’S HIDDEN INFRASTRUCTURE
As London’s skyline becomes ever more clustered with new developments and tall buildings adding to the historic landscape, it is easy to forget the complex underground infrastructure necessary to service this increasingly crowded over ground. This latest exhibition by The Building Centre will expose London’s inner workings and demonstrate that without a successful underground, what is built on top cannot function.

WATERFRONT LONDON
Free breakfast talks to accompany the Waterfront London exhibition exploring development around London's rivers, canals and docks.

Waterfront London is sponsored by URS and in association with British Waterways

AWAY FROM HOME: NEW HOTELS IN LONDON
Free breakfast talks featuring the hotel sector's leading designers, commentators and innovators take place every Wednesday morning at NLA during the Away from Home exhibition.

SCRATCHING THE SURFACE
Talks by some of the 24 exciting, young London-based architects featured in the Scratching the Surface exhibition, providing an insight into a world that is usually seen only from the outside – scratching the surface to reveal what makes a modern façade.

SHOP TALKS
Leading players from the Retail Property sector give their insight into some of the most important projects happenning in London right now.

SUSTAINABLE LONDON
All but a few diehard doubters now accept that climate change is an issue which we are going to have to address decisively if our lives are not going to be changed irrevocably by its effects. Sustainable London will present the challenge, the response and examples of real progress being made towards a sustainable 21st Century city – from the way that buildings can reduce their impact on the environment, projects that are meeting zero carbon targets, how existing buildings can be improved and what impact changing regulations for energy reduction will have on the way buildings look.
