Artists, Architects
Lots of artists are inspired by architecture - and some architects are artists too! We put artists and architects together so that everyone could enjoy new ways of looking at and understanding buildings.
Architect in the House
Architect in the House is an innovative scheme that lets homeowners get expert advice from an RIBA Chartered Architect in exchange for a donation to Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity.
Householders were matched with an RIBA Chartered Architect in their area, who gave their time, for an hour-long consultation in which the architect will discuss creative ways to extend or improve their home. The suggested minimum donation is £40: all the money raised goes towards Shelter. See www.architectinthehouse.org.uk
