Our sessions focus on an informal atmosphere and creating links with other industry professionals, and it's amazing to see people forming genuine connections. Whether you're a board game lover or just curious about the format, Nerdworking is your answer to less awkward networking - so give it a go and join us next time on Thursday 24th April at Heyne Tillett Steel ! We extend our thanks to sponsors Vandersanden and Seven and our lovely hosts at Material Lab.

Had an absolute blast at the RIBA Nerdworking x Nobody's Fool Mystery Games event hosted by RIBA London last evening! Material Lab transformed into Vice County High School for a thrilling 80s-themed murder mystery. The Nobody's Fool Mystery Games team created an engaging interactive experience where we all became high school seniors trying to solve the mysterious death of a brilliant mathlete. As head of the prom committee, I found myself at the center of the murder, dealing with missing people and possible murder weapons. What made the format particularly enjoyable was how beginner-friendly it was. Just three simple rules made everything flow smoothly: share your character information freely, keep secrets unless directly asked, and don't invent information. The genius twist? Even the killer didn't know they were the killer until the big reveal! This meant everyone could fully participate without trying to hide their guilt. It was great catching up with Rita Martínez Romero, Eliza Palos and Awni P. throughout the evening as we moved from table to table, gathering clues and trying to determine who had the means, motive, and opportunity to commit the crime. In the end, many of us were surprised by who committed the deadly deed, portrayed brilliantly by Charlotte Hollands! The interactive format kept us guessing until the very end. If you're looking for a unique networking experience that breaks the ice naturally and creates conversations beyond the usual small talk, I highly recommend keeping an eye out for the next Nerdworking event by RIBA. Shout out to Peter Greaves for chanelling his inner Joey Ramone last night! 😎 Tickets out now for the next Nerdworking event: https://lnkd.in/eex-ncCS #ribalondon #networking #architecture #mysterygames #nobodysfoolmysteries #professionalnetworking #creativenetworking #londonevents #architecturecommunity #riba

Last Chance to Support Archigram: The Magazine. Archigram: The Magazine is the first full facsimile of architecture’s most radical 1960s publication—which will be shared with the world this autumn. The editorial director for this project worked closely with Peter Cook and the late Dennis Crompton, ensuring every detail of Archigram’s playful, boundary-pushing design was faithfully recreated. Think: flyers, pockets, posters, gatefolds, the famous pop-up centerfold, and even an electronic resistor. After two years in the making, today marks the final day of their Kickstarter campaign, which has received an incredible response so far. To celebrate, RIBA members will receive an exclusive 40% discount, valid until the campaign’s conclusion this evening, Wednesday 19th March at 10pm.
