RCA2026 to Showcase 1,600 Postgraduate Projects Across London
The Royal College of Art has unveiled RCA2026, a series of exhibitions and events scheduled from 18 June to 19 July across its three campuses in London. This event will showcase the creative works of 1,600 postgraduate students in fields such as Arts & Humanities, Architecture, Communication, and Design. The School of Architecture Show is set to take place at the RCA Kensington campus from 3 to 5 July. A notable feature is Aiden Dutton (MA Architecture), whose project examines the relationship between Architecture and Ecology. Dutton draws inspiration from the beaver reintroduction in London’s Brent River, proposing designs for urban flooding that facilitate human interaction with beaver-influenced landscapes and suggesting a network of volunteer hubs.
