London Festival of Architecture 2024 'Reimagining a more equitable London: Postcards from the Future'

  • The Building Society 55 Whitfield Street London, England, W1T 4AH United Kingdom (map)

Join us to uncover the complex and interlinked issues driving inequalities & share your perspectives and ideas for a more inclusive London.

Join Women in Architecture UK, LDN Collective, Considerate Urbanism, UCL, Commonplace and The Building Society, for this special event, where we will be screening a new film based on UCL's report 'Structurally Unsound'  followed by a discussion and workshop feeding into a Commonplace's digital platform.

The film will feature interviews and personal stories from a diverse group of individuals across London. Following the film, a presentation by UCL will delve into the importance of intersectionality in UK society and their research findings, followed by a panel discussion. The discussion will focus on the understanding of intersectionality, the systemic inequalities that exist and what makes an equitable city.

A facilitated workshop will then be conducted, engaging participants in an experiential and emotional mapping exercise, encouraging them to share their experiences and envision a more equitable future for London.

Postcards reflecting these visions will be mapped according to postcodes and uploaded to a digital map on a dedicated Commonplace platform.

The event will be filmed, capturing additional insights and feedback from attendees for a follow up event.
