AoU Members can save up to 55% at

This year’s Urbanism Awards Party will take place at Gazette in Clerkenwell, on Wednesday 11 November, preceded by a learning plenary round the corner, at the AoU’s nearby offices.

Gazette sits on St John’s Square, at the heart of Clerkenwell – London’s urbanism quarter, known for its international design reputation and its claim to “more architects per square mile than anywhere else in the world.”

The party will be hosted here, while the afternoon session will take place round the corner, at the AoU’s offices in the Alan Baxter building on Cowcross Street, another well-loved hub of urbanism.

Info: A multi-disciplinary panel discussion reflecting on this year’s theme question: how does the place contribute to a sense of play, joy, and delight felt by a range of users?

Info: Grab a drink, catch up on emails, or get glammed up for the evening ahead!

Info: Announcing the 2026 winners over drinks and a standing dinner
