Moments from hosting our LFA Studio Late

We had the great pleasure of opening our doors to the public and profession on Thursday 5 June as part of the London Festival of Architecture Studio Lates in the Clerkenwell & Shoreditch cluster.

Our Studio Late celebrated how we fuse hand drawing with generative AI to shape urban places that make a difference—from 55 Bishopsgate in the City of London to residential, hospitality, and workplace projects around the world.

Across the studio, a curated display of recent work—including a reimagined model exhibition—drew out shared themes and design stories spanning sectors and scales. Meanwhile, our computational design team led hands-on AI workshops, giving visitors a chance to explore how we’re meaningfully integrating emerging tools into the design process, alongside more traditional methods.

The studio was buzzing with conversation and curiosity. From seasoned architects to local residents and students, guests shared views on design, technology, and the future of London—contributing to a collaborative River Thames map rolled out across the kitchen, which became a centrepiece for dialogue and ideas flowing through the studio and onto the terrace.

Thank you to everyone who came along to this wonderful evening. We hope to see you again soon. Our next public event is called "SyLon: Housing Solutions from Sydney to London", which we are hosting at the NLA in collaboration with Lendlease Australia. Read more here
