Mapping the Built Environment


Mapping the Built Environment

Newington Local’s Sebastian Summers takes a look at exhibitions across London that relate to the built environment in the run up to Christmas.

 

I have put this exhibition guide together to help our clients and those working in the built environment sector more widely to find and navigate across cultural opportunities and points of interest in the run up to Christmas.

The selection I have chosen is relatively broad ranging, and may well sit outside your usual area of interest or expertise, but I always feel it is good to see what other disciplines, commentators or artists have done in the past, are doing now or want to do in the future.

We know that Christmas can be an expensive time, so the good news is that all of the below exhibitions – with the exception of Renzo Piano at the RA – are free. My favourite is Living with Buildings at the Wellcome Collection, but having visited all of them I can say they are all worth some time.

So if you are out doing Christmas shopping, stop in at one or two.

If you would like to find where any of these exhibitions are located, simply click on this handy link.
