At Home in Britain: Designing the House of Tomorrow: the trade show
Taking the cottage, terrace and flat as a starting point, six contemporary architecture practices from Britain, the Netherlands and France have been newly commissioned to transform the three familiar typologies to reflect the way we live and work in the 21st century:
- Mecanoo
- Edouard François
- Jamie Fobert
- ArchitectsMae
- vPPR
- Studio Weave
The new work will be displayed alongside photographs, books and drawings from the collections. The RIBA exhibition is in partnership with a three-part BBC FOUR series, Dan Cruickshank: At Home with the British, which explores the historical development of the British home. Each episode will feature a housing type: the terraces of Toxteth in Liverpool, the high-rise towers of Bow, East London and the cottages of rural Stoneleigh in Warwickshire.
