Room 128: Architecture

Architecture Entrance, Room 127

The Architecture gallery features highlights from the world-class collections of drawings, models, photographs and architectural fragments of the V&A and the RIBA. It explores buildings from across the globe and what lies behind their design. Various themes are developed here. These include: the function of buildings and their response to climate; the art of architecture and changing architectural styles;  materials and structures and how buildings are made and finally what happens when buildings come together in towns and cities.

Room 128 is on Level 4 of the V&A South Kensington.
