Architects' Journal
Media Partner

The Architects' Journal is the UK's leading independent architectural magazine, whose authoritative voice has informed generations of architects. Every week, subscribers benefit from the AJ's latest news coverage, comprehensive building studies, in-depth technical and practice features and incisive commentary. The AJ has been promoting good architecture since 1895 and is the UK's only 100% paid-for architectural weekly.

Tent London is delighted that its fast architecture competition will be reported in the industry's most respected publication. We anticipate an exceptional standard of submissions thanks to its wide distribution and knowledgeable readership.

The Architects' Journal's partnership of the Workspace Group Urbantine Project® is consistent with its ongoing support of emerging architecture and helps to lend depth to the project through the debate that it will engender.

London Festival of Architecture 2008
Affliliate

The London Festival of Architecture consists of over 500 events celebrating the built environment in London. All the major players will be involved including the Mayor and local authorities, Design for London, not to mention some of the world's leading architects. The buzz of activity will move across five hubs over five weekends (20th June - 20th July 2008), with exhibitions, cycle tours, walks, talks, performances, installations and interventions, boat trips along the Thames and large scale street animations each weekend, all focusing on the theme of FRESH!

The LFA offers a creative outlet for the architectural community and has a remarkable ability for engaging the general public and involving them in the discussion of architecture's effect on our city and daily quality of life. We are therefore delighted with their endorsement of the Workspace Group Urbantine Project®.
