While the London Festival of Architecture finishes up its planning to have its big kick-off celebrations this Friday before its month-long run, Tom Dyckhoff over at the Times in the UK has a few pieces of advice to share. While the critic thinks the LFA, like most architecture celebrations, has sort of a negative going in ("buildings don't do festive very well") and not really being able to admire what architecture really "is" very directly, instead focusing more on the plans and what could be and who is behind it, Dyckhoff does pick out from nice bits from the fest and it should provide a nice peek at the event, should you be planning to attend, or something of a little online tour for those of us stuck several thousand miles away.
