A Place to Call Home: where we live and whyA Place to Call Home is a major exhibition from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), with guest curator Sarah Beeny. The exhibition looks back over the last 250 years of the British home, from Georgian terraces through to today’s housing developments and flats, and tells the story of the social, economic and design developments that have resulted in our past and present homes.

Over 120 stunning images and drawings from the RIBA collections will be on display, along with models and advertising posters.

Sarah Beeny will explore specific themes that run through the exhibition, such as the role that society plays as an arbiter of taste and the part that architects have played as both provocateurs and reformers.
