It’s not a vintage year for the London Architecture Festival. Ouch, the cuts run deep. But there are a few fringe events worth exploring:
Rich City, Poor City: The Royal Exchange and Debtors’ Prison on the Early Modern Stage
The last in the series of lectures about the theatrical culture of Shakespearean playhouses that spread across Tudor and Stuart London from 1567–1642 in Shoreditch, Bankside and Blackfriars.

Chromazone: Colour in Contemporary Architecture
Robert Wilson, Editor, Curator and Architect discusses the explosion of colour in recent architecture and references projects by David Chipperfield, Renzo Piano, Diener & Diener, Will Alsop and Caruso St John amongst others. A focus on the origins of architecture’s often problematic relationship to colour – “from the 19th century polychromy debate about classical architecture to the more recent obsession with ‘any colour as long as it’s white’ (or tasteful grey)!”
