Architecture Update: Career on show
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.'EXPLORING materials', an exhibition of the work of the engineer Peter Rice, has opened at the Royal Institute of British Architects. Rice was awarded the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture at the RIBA last week.

As well as photographs and models of the buildings and projects Rice has worked
on, the exhibition includes actual pieces of some of his structures.
