"For a British audience, the work under discussion should prove particularly relevant. As has been the case here, recent development in Belgium has been profoundly affected by legislation aimed at increasing urban densities while the fragmentary, private sector-shaped nature of the fabric in which these architects have been required to work bears close comparison with that of the UK."

V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership

The V&A and RIBA Architecture Partnership is the name given to the initiative of the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Royal Institute of British Architects to promote the understanding and enjoyment of architecture.

Together the V&A and the RIBA have opened the UK's first permanent architecture gallery and new study rooms at the V&A.

The Partnership brings together the RIBA's drawings and archives collections and the V&A's collections of architectural drawings and photographs at one location - the V&A in London. It also brings together the expertise of each institution in an exciting new programme of temporary exhibitions at the V&A, at the RIBA, and on tour.

There is a whole host of architectural resources available including some online workshops which look at exploring collections and themes in architecture - all are freely and publicly accessible.
