From Open House to ... Open-City:
25 March 2010
After 18 years as Open House, London's leading architecture education
organisation announces name change to Open-City on 25 March 2010. The
launch of Open-City signals a new focus in the strategic direction of
the organisation, as it expands its commissioning of research into current
issues on the built environment.
From its early roots showcasing the capital’s best architecture via a now world-famous annual event, Open-City has evolved to encompass ground-breaking research, training, advice and capital-wide campaigns, as part of delivering targeted programmes for decision-makers, young people and the London community at large.
This new name better expresses the scope of work the organisation currently undertakes and will allow Open-City to further develop its key strands of activity. As a champion of the value of good design, Open-City is the only independent organisation that works year round with councillors, planners, students, young people, the public and all professionals who are active in shaping the built environment.
The Open House London weekend will retain its identity, with this year’s event scheduled to take place on 18 and 19 September.
