The London Festival of Architecture is the world’s largest annual architecture festival, with a mission to democratize discussions around architecture, test new ideas and uncover and promote new talent. With an amazing programme of events and activities taking place right across London every June, we welcome everyone into the conversation around architecture and our city. We work year-round to help new individuals and organizations feel empowered to stage their own festival events.

After such as long time of enforced passivity, the imperative to act is felt by so many of us, whether we are architects or not, while the pandemic has exposed so many things that need to change. How, for instance, should architecture act in the face of the climate emergency, social injustice and the needs of a changing society? How can architects make their actions felt beyond their profession – how can they be heard more clearly, become more valued or collaborate more meaningfully?

The theme for the LFA 2022 LFA is ‘act’. Through the festival we’ll examine how we can act for ourselves, each other, our cities and the environment.
