London Festival of Architecture_2013

Atlas of the Unbuilt World: International Architecture Showcase

The London Festival of Architecture is an annual, month-long and citywide exploration of London’s built environment; investigating the importance of architecture and design in London’s success and celebrating the city’s role as a global hub of architectural experimentation, thinking, learning and practice.

Many festivals celebrate history, cultural activities and human achievements. The London Festival of Architecture, established in 2004, does all this but also actively promotes positive change and improvement in the city’s public realm. Taking place 1-30 June 2013, the LFA will be a ‘time for architecture’ in the city and will incorporate a program by invited Festival Partners from leading architectural and cultural institutions in order to harness and to link the enormous energy inherent in the London scene.

The exhibition represented future architecture from more than 30 countries from around the world and more than 50 architects representing those countries. maisam represented a physical model of the award winning project "A Gateway to Petra" at the exhibition, showcasing the project in its context to the public.
