The QS News guide to Architecture Week

It's Architecture Week. That means throughout the country there will be talks, walks, Podwalks, films, exhibitions and even a sheep drive, from 16 to 25 June. Plus there's music, with the ‘Architecture Rocks' competition sponsored by Building Design. The gig takes place in London on Saturday 24th June.

So, there's a lot on, and a lot of it is free. Here's the QS News guide to what's happening in your region, as well as our pick of some of the events taking place as part of the London Architecture Biennale.
