Open Studio is an interactive project run by the School of Architecture + Cities at the University of Westminster to make its design, research and practice-based work available online while it is happening. The site acts as a real time teaching and learning environment in which the work of both students and staff is curated and documented – the work of its design studios, or its other teaching and research groups and workshops.

Borough Market hosts debate as part of the London Festival of Architecture
When: 6.30pm – 8.30pm, Thursday 28 June
Where: Jubilee Place, Borough Market, Winchester Walk, London, SE1 9AG
How has food production, distribution, storage, preparation, consumption, waste and culture changed London’s built environment? How has London changed food? What does the future hold?
These questions will be debated during a thought provoking evening of discussion hosted by London’s oldest food market, Borough Market, in partnership with architects DLA Design and the Cambridge University Land Society.
As part of the London Festival of Architecture – the world’s largest annual architecture festival – Borough Market is organising a special public debate bringing together experts from the worlds of architecture and food, to explore the impact that food has on our capital city. The talk will take place in Borough Market‘s recently completed communal hub, Jubilee Place. The audience will also be invited to sample a delicious spread of food and drink provided by Borough Market‘s traders.
Donald Hyslop, Chair of Borough Market‘s Board of Trustees, said:
Borough Market has been serving the people of London for 1,000 years, and that extraordinary heritage is an important part of the market’s appeal. With architecture ranging from the Victorian, to Art Deco, to the modern day, Borough Market is an iconic space, which combines the historic with 21st Century innovation. Jubilee Place provides a stimulating setting for what we believe will be a lively and engaging discussion about the relationship between food, communities and London’s built environment.
Speakers who will bring their unique views to the debate include:
Tickets are £17.50 and include opportunities to ask questions at the end of the talks as well as a superb spread of food and drink provided by Borough Market traders.

Borough Market is a source of quality British and international produce, but it is more than just a place to buy or sell food. It’s a place where people come to connect, to share food and awaken their senses. Borough has long been synonymous with food markets and as far back as 1014, and probably much earlier, London Bridge attracted traders selling grain, fish, vegetables and livestock. In the 13th century traders were relocated to what is now Borough High Street and a market has existed there ever since. Borough Market’s mission is to continue to provide a world class food market at Borough for the community of London and beyond. Borough Market is the only fully independent market in London. It is owned by a charitable trust and run by a board of volunteer trustees. The trust is committed to supporting the local community around Borough Market. We regularly run community events, free cookery demonstrations and we support local community projects and schemes.
