UniFor supports The Royal Academy of Arts

One of the key activities of the Royal Academy since its foundation has been organising the annual Summer Exhibition, “open to all artists of distinguished merit”. This exhibition has been held every year without interruption since 1769 and continues to play a significant role in spreading the work of emerging and established artists and architects to an international audience.

Centered around the Summer Exhibition 2024, the Architecture Programme encompasses the always popular Architecture Rooms, this year curated by Assemble RA, the Summer Exhibition Architecture Afternoon and Party, and an architecture prize. Each year, the Royal Academy presents a number of prizes for outstanding works within the exhibition.

This year, UniFor is supporting The Summer Exhibition Architecture Award 2024 for an outstanding architectural work. Carlo Molteni, CEO of UniFor, was part of the prestigious international jury, composed of prominent individuals from various fields including Vicky Richardson, Maria Lisogroskaya (Assemble RA) and Julian Robinson. The prize has been awarded to Structure Workshop with the project DIPLODOCUS CARNEGII FOR THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM (Cat 787).

The programme also includes the inaugural ‘Introducing Architecture: free talk for 16-25-year-olds’ on Wednesday 17 July with world-renowned architect and Harvard Professor Toshiko Mori. In this lecture, the architect will discuss the impact of architecture on the environment and explore the concept of creative thinking.
By supporting the Royal Academy Architecture Summer Programme, June-August 2024, UniFor confirms its role as a promoter of cultural activities capable of inspiring the next generations of architects and designers.
