I think the Open House London is great idea; this is my second time going. Fantastic opportunity to see the inside of buildings for free.

“It is a simple but powerful concept: in celebration of design excellence, 700 buildings of every conceivable type, shape and size opened their doors to Londoners completely for free. Londoners came together exploring all corners of the Capital, inspired by the power of architecture to transform the quality of our lives”.

I helped run this year ‘Open House London’ event. The occasion was a great success, attracting thousands of people around the world to experience London’s architecture for the weekend. I worked on Kids corner programme where kids and parents came to express their creativity by creating exciting architectural structures and design for an alternative London skyline. This was a wonderful experience as I witnessed young children making striking buildings on how they see the future of their own built environment.
I felt this event was so important and vital because architecture is not a subject taught in school education but yet has a large impact on our daily lives. This event allowed everyone to have the opportunity to articulate their views and concerns on the fast-growing built environment, which can only benefit the London City.
