Style Lounge and RIBA present an evening in response to Zoomorphic.

Tom Dyckhoff, Architecture Critic for 'The Times', hosts a debate in the lounge focusing on new animal architecture. Special guests include Tom Verebes (Ocean D UK), whose work features in the Zoomorphic exhibition, David Turnbull (Director, ATOPIA LLC, New York and Professor of Architecture at the University of Bath) and Alexia Defert (Lecturer in Fine Art, Goldsmiths College University of London).

The Playdoh Skyline
Free drop-in activity for families
Saturday 25 October to Sunday 2 November
Saturday 20 December to Sunday 28 December
14.00 -16.00
Location: In the Zoomorphic exhibition

Create your own zoomorphic additions to the urban skyline using Playdoh. By placing your Playdoh buildings alongside images of other buildings, both conventional and zoomorphic, children and architects of all ages will be able to leave their animal mark on the city.

The V&A/RIBA architecture partnership gallery and stores will open in autumn 2004. The RIBA's Drawings, Manuscripts and Archives Collections will be re-housed alongside the Museum's Prints, Drawings and Paintings collections in the Henry Cole Wing at the V&A. The project involves a new Architecture Gallery that will display the superb collections of both the RIBA and V&A to a wider audience. It will boost access to the V&A and RIBA's world-class architectural collections and stimulate greater public understanding and engagement with architecture.
