Event: LAF26 Open Studios

Open Studios will take place on the afternoon of 4 June 2026, 12:00 - 17:00. The event will be a chance for practices to mix, and for participants to have a peek behind the curtain of architecture practices.
The event is open to the public and offers a chance to lower creative defensives and invite people into the environment where the creative process begins.
Open Studios is also a chance for students to interact with practising architects and let them ask questions about the working environment of each studio. This engagement will hopefully assist in the retention of graduating students in the LCR.
This event will be followed by the Architecture Social at 17:30.
