Festival of the Future: Young People Reimagining Our Cities

This film captures the energy of the Festival of the Future, a pioneering two-day event hosted at Royal Institute of British Architects headquarters in central London. Delivered by Beyond the Box in collaboration with leading organisations from across the architecture and design sector, the festival created a space where young people could explore the future of the built environment.

Over two days, more than 2,000 young participants from across the UK took part in hands-on workshops, interactive installations and discussions exploring topics such as AI in architecture, inclusive city design and pathways into creative careers.

By transforming the RIBA building into a dynamic learning environment, the festival demonstrated how young people can actively engage with the ideas, tools and networks shaping the cities of tomorrow.
