British Council: Open House Lagos set to showcase architectural masterpieces

Open House Lagos which will hold from Friday 29th April to Sunday 1st May is a unique celebration of buildings, places and spaces where Lagosians live, work and play.

British Council is set to host what will arguably be Lagos' biggest architectural showcase, Open House Lagos.

Open House Lagos which will hold from Friday 29th April to Sunday 1st May is a unique celebration of buildings, places and spaces where Lagosians live, work and play.

Over twenty buildings will open their doors to all, as Open House Lagos showcases beautifully designed residences, innovative infrastructure projects and prestigious civic buildings all for free.

The event also provides an opportunity to see, explore and learn about Lagos’ amazing architecture and design over one weekend.

It also focuses on the importance of good design in creating and sustaining a vibrant city, and is a unique opportunity to know on a first hand basis what makes Lagos the great city it is today.

At the event, Lagos citizens will find out more about issues that are relevant to their local area - from the design of homes to the impact of climate change, and the role of architects and contemporary design in revitalising a city.

The Open House Worldwide Family brand was created in 2010, connecting a community of over 30 cities who organise annual events with the same model.

The group has an audience of over 1 million people who participate in Open House events across the globe.
