A selection of past projects
Greetings
From London
A series of new visions for London created by some of the most exciting
architects from the UK and abroad in the windows of Selfridges.
Accommodating Change
This initiative grew out of Circle 33 Housing Group's desire to promote
interest in and thereby, improve the quality of affordable housing. In
collaboration with the AF, two competitions were held, for architects
from the UK and abroad to submit designs for affordable housing, and a
related student competition. The second competition encouraged students
from all over Europe to actively engage with the current debate on the
future of housing.
'New Architects 2: a guide to Britain's best
young architectural practices'
The second publication in the New Architects series is the definitive
guide to emerging UK architecture practices. The British architectural
scene is more lively and diverse than at any time in recent years, and
yet it is still hard for young practices to gain significant commissions.
This current edition showcases 67 practices selected by a jury, representing
a new generation of talent.

Creative Spaces
A dissemination of the methods developed by the Architecture Foundation's
Roadshow programme (1998-1999), a pioneering exercise in participatory
urban design which served as a catalyst to regenerate 19 dysfunctional
sites across three London boroughs. With increasing pressure and legislation
for consultation and participation with urban regeneration, this project
aimed to inspire through imaginative and tested methods of participatory
urban design.
London in the 21st Century
With an absence of planning and design for London, the AF hosted a series
of public forum debates to give Londoners a voice in shaping the future
of their city. Modelled on the Stadt Forum in Berlin, over 15,000 members
of the public attended the events, taking the opportunity to comment and
respond to issues including transport, culture, the future of London and
its governance. Tony Blair, the then leader of the opposition, for his
public debate pledged a referendum on the subject of a mayor for London.
