How can architecture
 
present the stories of
 the past and create new cultural destinations
?
Join us for the second talk in the 2025 RIBA+VitrA Talks series, Building Empathy: Collecting Narratives for the Future.
In this panel discussion hear from leading voices in cultural and civic architecture, Carmody Groarke, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, O'Donnell & Tuomey and Wright & Wright, as they reflect on the role buildings can serve in holding the narratives of the communities they serve.
Exploring case studies including Museum of the Home in Hackney, and Science and Industry Museum in Manchester, and upcoming destinations like the V&A East and redevelopment of the Liverpool International Slavery Museum and Maritime Museum, the panel will discuss how these projects are transforming our cultural landscape and preserving stories for generations to come.

This is a pilgrimage, as a Liverpool fan. No matter how this journey is perceived by others, it is a perfect one in my heart. Especially when I passed through the player tunnel and saw the sign of Anfield, my heart was filled with emotion. When I stood on the stadium and closed my eyes, I could imagine the bustling crowds here on match days.

I am not a Beatles fan, but after this tour, I was still moved by their legendary stories. And I found that some of the familiar songs were written by them. I appreciate Lenon&#39;s talent, but I like McCartney&#39;s gentleness and restraint more. It is a good place to visit.

This church looks ordinary from the outside, but you will be amazed once you enter. It feels very beautiful as soon as you enter. It is super big inside. It is recommended to come here on Sundays. There will be a choir every Sunday. You can pray with the locals and feel the atmosphere.
