As part of the London Festival of Architecture, we invite you to join a timely and thought-provoking discussion on the housing crisis—an issue that continues to deepen, with ambitious government targets adding to the complexity.
How can the architectural community respond? Can the wisdom of seasoned professionals be combined with the fresh perspectives of a new generation to spark meaningful change?
This dynamic debate will bring together voices from across the spectrum—different backgrounds, different eras—exploring whether innovation can overcome institutional barriers, and whether tradition still holds the key to progress.
Rather than choosing between challenging policy or working within its constraints, between preserving legacy or pursuing radical transformation, we’ll consider how collaboration across perspectives might illuminate a path forward.
Is common ground possible — or is the challenge too great? Let’s come together to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and explore new possibilities.
Panel:
Niall McLaughlin, Niall McLaughlin Architects
Nasios Varnavas and Era Savvides, Urban Radicals
Edward Jarvis, London Borough of Camden
Alicia Pivaro, LSA (CHAIR)
