The theme of the London Festival of Architecture 2008 is ‘Fresh’.

A high profile component of this series is a specially commissioned mobile lecture space that will travel to each Hub and provide a focus for talks and performances as part of the public weekend programmes.
A strong element of the Festival will look at fresh talent in relationship to architecture in London, showcasing the work of students, young practices and international architects.
And LFA2008 pay particular attention to taking a fresh approach to public spaces and making better connections for walking and cycling in London. Each of the public weekend events will focus on using public spaces in fresh ways to explore future possibilities.
The majority of the Festival takes place in the fresh air. Exhibitions on future designs for London will be on show on railings, on hoardings and as installations and outdoor exhibitions.
Also, innovative growing opportunities, debate and discussions about the development of London’s infrastructure in relation to food, the future of its markets and issues concerning food distribution and urban agriculture.
