A winter programme has been unveiled for RIBA’s new national architecture centre on Liverpool’s waterfront.

The new season opens with Cerámica (28 October – 10 February 2018), an exhibition which shows how traditional ceramic techniques and digital engineering processes can be used together to produce more meaningful and sustainable architectural elements. 

From Friday, November 10, RIBA North, at Mann Island, will showcase models of the six finalists of the prestigious RIBA Stirling Prize, with the winning building having been announced on October 31 at the Roundhouse in London.

The models illustrate the best architecture in the UK, and showcase some of the most careful three-dimensional scale model making.

And from December 6, RIBA North will host the 2017 RIBA President’s Medals exhibition, the Institute’s annual showcase of the most radical and innovative ideas in architectural education.

Awarded since 1836, these medals celebrate the diverse and talented work produced by students in schools of architecture across the worlds, that are nominated for the RIBA Bronze, Silver, and Dissertation Medals.

Suzy Jones Director of RIBA North said “RIBA North has been open for just four months and is already firmly established as a destination which promotes the benefits of architecture and good design on the world around us.

“Our winter season is packed with activities to appeal to all our visitors – from families to design professionals and architects.”
