Examining contemporary architectural developments in the city, the LFA2015 programme looked at the city as a work in progress, exploring ideas of change and regeneration. Highlights included debates around how policy and design can encourage creative pace to thrive in cities and how technology has changed the way we view the built environment, the RA Lego Architecture Challenge and a ‘Brutalist Playground’ at RIBA.
LFA2015 also saw the first ever LFA focus country – Ireland. The focus country programme formed part of Irish Design 2015, a year-long international celebration of Irish Design, and included the installation of two pavilions in Lewis Cubitt Square, King’s Cross, an installation called ‘Nine Lives’ in the Tank at the Design Museum and a series of talks, tours and workshops.
