Established in 1991 as Britain's first independent architecture centre, The Architecture Foundation has organised hundreds of public exhibitions, design initiatives, competitions and debates in venues across Britain and internationally.

As a non-profit agency for contemporary architecture, urbanism and culture, we cultivate new talent and new ideas. Through our diverse programmes we facilitate international and interdisciplinary exchange, stimulate critical engagement amongst professionals, policy makers and a broad public, and shape the quality of the built environment.

We are independent, agile, inclusive and influential.

Central to our activities is the belief that architecture enriches lives.
