RIBA Fifty Buildings 50 years Touring Exhibition of Modern Architecture Oakham Castle

RIBA Fifty Buildings 50 years Touring Exhibition of Modern Architecture Oakham Castle

A very interesting exhibition of photographs and descriptions of 50 buildings that can be found throughout the East Midlands.

If you are lucky you may get to meet one of the architects, I met husbands and wife architects from Greetham Rutland. The lady was responsible for one of the buildings on show. A convert loo she change into a pyramid and the building became a nursery school.

Fifty buildings 50 years.
Great modern architecture in the East Midlands.

The exhibition is a major tour from the Royal Institute of British Architects and showcases innovative and enduring architecture from the 'swinging sixties' onwards, revealing how architectural creativity is shaped by context, place, culture, social and political trends of the time and in turn, shapes the identity of local places and spaces.

There are much loved modern classics, buildings of character and wit, leaders in innovation and some of the latest in contemporary architectural design.

All the buildings can also be seen in a book published by the RIBA www.architecture.com/fifty50
