LFA Media

The London Festival of Architecture has always been a place of celebration of our city, people and projects. Over the last few years we have produced a number of video and audio series exploring some of these areas.

With contributions from emerging and established architects, curators, politicians and festival organisers, below you can find explorations of iconic London buildings, stories behind winning LFA competition designs and annual video projects such as 30 Objects in 30 days.
