The inaugural Young Voices lecture, presented by YADA (Young Architects and Developers Alliance) with the London Festival of Architecture, will be delivered by Sam Elbahja of HTA Design.

Launching a new programme designed to mirror key Festival moments, Young Voices creates a platform for emerging professionals to share ideas and be heard. Sam will ask whether architects need a new language—one that allows younger practitioners to claim their place and break down barriers between the profession and the public. An invitation to rethink how architecture speaks, and who it speaks for.

Sam’s lecture is supported by HTA Design
