London Festival of Architecture From 2013, the London Festival of Architecture is to become an annual summer fixture. A biennial event since it began in 2004 as the London Architecture Biennale, the festival is a citywide celebration of architecture which returns for a month long run from 1st to 30th June 2013. Spread across various locations, the festival looks at the ways that both Londoners and visitors can become part of the fabric of the city. Curated by The Architecture Foundation, British Council, New London Architecture and RIBA London, the festival offers a packed programme of events and attractions held in various hubs including the City of London and Southwark, Fitzrovia and Victoria, and King's Cross and Hoxton. There will also be open studios, public realm installations, performances and other activities taking place. One exhibition, Atlas of the Unbuilt World, features over 50 architectural models gathered from nearly every continent across the world.
