We’re delighted to announce that we’ve appointed a brand new Festival Committee, which will work alongside the LFA team year-round on the festival and its connected programmes.
The Committee is a non-executive advisory group that will advise and inspire the strategic direction of the festival, as well as helping to develop its networks and outreach. With members from across the industry and beyond, we hope the committee will both continue and expand on our mission to democratise discussions around architecture, making it more accessible for all, as well as ensuring the festival remains a unique platform to test new ideas and uncover and promote new and emerging architects, designers and practitioners.
The Festival Committee comprises 13 members and will be chaired by one of its independent members.
