Exploring Architecture: Raise the Roof: Building for Change Curator tour

Raise the Roof: Building for Change is a unique opportunity to explore the stories embedded within the architecture of RIBA’s headquarters through a creative and inclusive lens.

The design of 66 Portland Place has a multifaceted history, with motifs and materials throughout its interior decoration that reveal the Institute’s unexplored links with the British Empire.

This exhibition seeks to confront some of the uncomfortable truths woven into the fabric of this building by creating a progressive dialogue between the past and present.

Join curator Margaret Cubbage for an exclusive and in-depth exploration of the exhibition. Margaret is an experienced curator of contemporary design and architecture. You can find her on Instagram and LinkedIn.

This event is for anyone aged 55 or over that has an interest in discovering more about architecture, with a chance for discussion and refreshments in the Clore Learning Centre after the tour.

Free, please book a place.

Exploring Architecture is a monthly free event at 66 Portland Place, usually on the first of the month based in the Clore Learning Centre. Each month will take a different format, including tours, creative activities and special insights into the RIBA Collections with an opportunity to socialise.
