Lara Lesmes and Fredrik Helberg curate RIBA exhibition ‘Freestyle: Architectural Adventures in Mass Media

Lara Lesmes and Fredrik Helberg, tutors of The Civic Programme (Diploma 2) and co-founders of design studio Space Popular, have curated an exhibition at the RIBA entitled ‘Freestyle: Architectural Adventures in Mass Media’, opening on 26 February. It is the first virtual reality exhibition at the RIBA, exploring key moments in the evolution of architectural styles over the last 500 years.

Lara Lesmes says: “Styles are most easily recognised as patterns, which can translate across mediums, from cutlery to textiles, furniture to buildings. This show explores how style relates to popular culture and technological changes.”

The Exhibition is accompanied by a lecture on Tuesday 17 March entitled ‘From the Printing Press to Pinterest’ which you can now buy tickets for.
