Open-City is the new name of Open House, the architecture organisation. Over the last 17 years we has grown from showcasing the capital’s architecture annually to research, training, advice and campaigns that impact on the whole city.
The recent Open-City architecture debate helped launch our new name. Watch this film to see what the ministers had to say about architecture and the built
environment.

About Open-City
We are an independent, not for profit organisation that aims to be at the centre of creating better places – and a better city. We champion excellence in design quality and advocate for an inclusive and informed approach to the development of our city.
With a basis of experience, expertise and research built up over a decade and a half, our programmes are designed to encourage dialogue, debate and learning about how architecture and public space affects our daily lives, and to enable people to discover and understand how they can really influence change in the built environment.
We are the only organisation that actively involves such a variety of stakeholders across London, connecting up those that plan, design and build the city to those that live, work and play in the city, both through our own action research and in our advocacy, education and engagement programmes.
