AIA International Conference - London 2022: Transformations
Hawley Wharf by AHMM
When: Thursday 29 September 2022 - Sunday 2 October 2022.
Where: London, UK
Event Description
On behalf of AIA International, AIA UK and AIA Continental Europe are organising a 3-day conference in London. The conference will open at the Design Museum on Thursday, September 29th and will follow with 3 days of talks and tours from Sept 30th to October 2, 2022.
Entitled ‘Transformations’ we will take a look at the transformations that have happened in London since the last London Conference in 2014. Each day of the conference will be held in a different location and will look at the transformation of old into new, through buildings, public space, the urban campus, renovations of historic buildings, sustainability, innovations in housing and explorations of colour.
The last international conference was held in London in 2014 and we will start the first full day of the conference where we began the last, at London’s Kings Cross, to see how the area has developed over the past 8 years, moving onto Camden to explore the Hawley Wharf Masterplan. Saturday will focus on Midtown, Aldwych Quarter and the LSE Campus; hidden in plain sight, the developments in this area have strengthened the cultural and educational programmes through a strong commitment to the urban realm, design, regeneration, and the repurposing of historic buildings. Sunday we will look at innovations in housing, cultural buildings, and explorations in colour. Participants will enjoy talks and tours with a Gala dinner boat ride on the Thames.
