The 15th edition of the “London Festival of Architecture” (LFA), the world’s biggest annual architecture festival, will commence on June 1, 2019. The theme this year for the month long show is ‘Boundaries.’“We’ll open the doors to iconic tours, architectural installations, and stunning brick creations; energetic debates to Studio Lates; workshops in extraordinary spaces and tours of new places; exhibitions and bespoke artistic commissions; political discussions and lots of new construction — the London Festival of Architecture has something for everyone,” the event’s official press note read.The theme ‘Boundaries’ will be approached from many different viewpoints in the events — from physical boundaries found in the city to the hidden gender and privilege boundaries that many architects face in the industry.“Our theme for this year’s festival is ‘Boundaries’ — we feel there could hardly be a more appropriate theme for us to explore this year. Our Core Programme brings together the events that respond in interesting or novel ways to this theme. Our wider fringe programme brings together a huge range of other events that respond to many of the other aspects of architecture and our city,” the organization said.A total of more than 400 events will take place throughout the month of June, and include shows of several genres — exhibition, installation, talks, workshops, family events, walking tours. Highlight of the festival will be events such as a ‘migration walk’ in East London, a ‘comedy safari’ of classic Londoner experiences and a seance at the John Soanes-designed Pitzhanger Manor. Much focus will be given on group interaction and public engagement.The LFA will have four festival hubs — the City of London; London Bridge; the Royal Docks; and the ‘Heart of London’ covering St James’s, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
