'The Playful City' is the theme for this year's London Festival of Architecture. Spread across various locations during a summer in the city that welcomes the Olympics for the first time since 1948, the 2012 festival seeks to look into the ways that both Londoners and visitors can become part of the fabric of the city. In acknowledgement of the Olympics, public spaces will be reinterpreted to encourage physical fitness and festival participants will be encouraged to play in, and play with, the surrounding city. There will also be open studios, public realm installations, performances and other activities taking place in an arc around the City core.
