The New Stone Age

This landmark exhibition at the Building Centre will explore the potential of stone to revolutionise architecture and construction in light of the current climate crisis. It may seem like an ancient building material but stone has serious sustainability credentials; with the ability to reduce a project’s embodied carbon by an incredible 90 per cent compared to typical steel or concrete frames. The New Stone Age will celebrate the sustainability, practicality and inherent beauty of the world’s oldest natural material.

The exhibition is accompanied by an experimental installation in the Store Street Crescent, in the form of a giant raised stone floor

Forms of Industry: Photographs by Alastair Philip Wiper and Eric de Maré

RIBA presents Forms of Industry, an exhibition of contemporary photographs by Alastair Philip Wiper (1980) and archival images by Eric de Maré (1910-2002) from the RIBA Collections.

Eric de Maré was one of Britain’s most influential architectural photographers, responsible for raising awareness of the value and beauty of Britain’s overlooked industrial heritage via photographs taken for the Architectural Review in the 1950s and 1960s. A selection from RIBA’s extensive

THE PREMISE

While meeting the German chancellor Angela Merkel who is arguably one of the world's most powerful women, Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari made the above statement in response to a journalist’s question. Rather than dwell over Mr Buhari’s response, this competition of ideas aims to esteem the kitchen's essential function which supplies food and life to both sexes even if one seems derided.

Furthermore, the esteeming of the Kitchen runs a commentary on the future of the home: how the Kitchen is the last bastion of surviving rooms in the dying notion of a home because of the
