RIBA North, Architecture museum at Mann Island, Liverpool waterfront, England.
RIBA North is an architecture museum on Liverpool's waterfront housed in a black geometric building with exhibition spaces and conference areas. Inside, visitors can explore an interactive digital city model displaying the area's past, present, and possible futures.
The Royal Institute of British Architects established RIBA North in 2017 as its first center outside London. This move aimed to showcase northern architectural heritage and position the region as an important design destination.
The center displays rotating exhibitions about architecture and urban development, connecting professionals with the public. Programs and talks make design accessible to everyone who walks through.
The building is within walking distance of James Street station and easily accessible by public transport. Parking is available nearby, and the interior features clear navigation with resting areas throughout.
The digital city model inside reveals not only current buildings but also historical structures that have vanished over time. Visitors can travel through time to see how Liverpool has transformed across different eras.
