RIBA Royal Gold Medal: Lesley Lokko 

2 May to 21 September 2024 

This display celebrates this year's RIBA Royal Gold Medallist, Professor Lesley Lokko.   

Given in recognition of a lifetime’s work, the Royal Gold Medal is approved personally by the Monarch and is awarded to acknowledge the contribution and influence made by an architect or practice who have directly or indirectly advanced the profession of architecture. 

Lesley Lokko is an educator, author, and curator. A luminary architect and renaissance figure who has etched an indelible mark on the global stage, this display highlights her groundbreaking contributions to architectural education, dialogue, and discourse from a ‘Global South’ perspective – relentlessly pursuing inclusivity and equity in the field. 

Please note: on occasion 66 Portland Place may be closed to the public, including during the holiday season. Find our full opening times and plan your journey.
