The London Festival of Architecture (LFA) 1st - 30th June |
|
This year the theme is: 'Belonging'. We want LFA2026 to be more than a moment. We hope it will plant seeds that grow long after June has come to a close – whether that be skills, ideas, and connections. We hope organisers can begin to rewild grey parts of the city, reclaim neglected streets, and show what happens when lived experience and professional expertise work together to create spaces in which people can belong. We hope organisers and attendees will ask hard questions, collectively take responsibility and, and celebrate the small, everyday acts of care and creativity through which a city becomes a place of belonging for all.
