The Built Environment Trust’s mission is to explore and debate the social impact our surroundings have on people and communities. We do this through public programming, exhibitions and special school and community projects.
We are an independent charity best known for the Building Centre, a dynamic hub which brings together designers, product manufacturers and the public in the centre of London, established in 1931.
Conference - Mon 27 Nov 2023: Towards a more child-friendly London: the people making it happen
This conference is for people that are interested in and passionate about the built environment and children’s health, wellbeing and development. You do not have to be from a built environment background, and you do not have to be an expert in child development.
Explore the origin of building materials and discover how to change the future of buildings.
A brand-new podcast aimed at bringing together practitioners and creatives working with children and young people to inspire them to make the built environment more inclusive, diverse, and attractive for everyone.
Our schools programme targets Primary schools through hands-on workshops in schools and onsite at the Building Centre as well as providing resources to inspire teaching in the classroom.
