Poppy Levison's Festival Itinerary

“One of the guiding principles for the LFA is to open up architecture to wider audiences. I have experienced this through their incredible efforts to make the Festival more accessible for disabled people, but I think we can all acknowledge that there is still a long way to go to increase diversity in the profession, as well as open it up to include different and unique perspectives. The events I have selected focus on this aim to welcome everyone to enjoy architecture and the built environment, and create new connections within it.”
