About the Event

Join the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), BOLD Platform, and Under One Sky for a unique Skywalk for Architects — an inspiring, reflective journey through the city designed to bring architects, designers, and urban enthusiasts together under the open sky.

This special event, stemming from Series 3 of Cooking with an Architect, is to encourage innovations in architecture designed to support the homeless. In collaboration with Under One Sky, a charitable organisation dedicated to aiding those without shelter, this Skywalk blends architecture, nature, and social impact into an immersive experience. More than just a walking tour, it offers a chance to refflect on how design can foster inclusivity and provide solutions for vulnerable populations. The event highlights the power of architecture to not only create shelter but to promote dignity, community, and social justice for all.



Event Highlights:

· Guided Skywalk Experience:

Skywalk offers a chance to connect with the homeless community and see firsthand how urban spaces impact vulnerable groups. Led by RIBA architects and BOLD Platform experts, the walk highlights how city environments affect those most in need.

· Engagement with Under One Sky:

Hear from the team at Under One Sky about the importance of designing spaces that consider social equity and homelessness. This collaboration is a chance to rethink how architects can address pressing issues like housing and inclusivity.

· Architectural Reflections & Discussions:

The walk provides firsthand insight into the social challenges faced by vulnerable individuals, particularly during harsh winter and summer months. It also reveals how hostile architecture marginalises these groups, rather than creating inclusive spaces.

· Networking Opportunity:

After the walk, join us for refreshments and a chance to connect with peers from RIBA, BOLD Platform, Under One Sky, and other leading architects in the city. Discuss new ideas, collaborate on future projects, and find ways architecture can shape a better world.



Why Attend?

This Skywalk is more than a journey through the city. It’s an opportunity to broaden your perspective on architecture and urbanism, considering how our designs impact society at large. With insights from both architectural professionals and humanitarian voices, the event will challenge you to think about your role in creating spaces that are inclusive, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of all people.

Whether you are an established architect, a student, or someone passionate about architecture, this event will inspire new ways of thinking about the built environment and its potential to improve lives.



Who Should Attend?

· Architects and architecture students

· Urban planners and designers

· Social impact and housing advocates

· Anyone interested in architecture’s role in shaping cities for the future
