POST PRESS, our summer programme space, is now open.

Located in the Zaha Hadid Foundation’s home at 10 Bowling Green Lane, POST PRESS forms part of the ZHF’s wider transformation ahead of its relaunch in October 2026.

The space marks the publication of New Architects 5, the latest edition of the Architecture Foundation’s landmark series charting the UK’s most compelling emerging practices. It is programmed by the practices featured in the book.

Across the summer, POST PRESS hosts more than thirty standalone events — on subjects ranging from football to conservation, club culture to clay. It also operates as a reading room, where visitors can browse New Architects 5 alongside the books its featured practices have named as touchstones in their own development.

The interior has been conceived by RAFT — Jos Myles Geczy and Rosa Nussbaum — who designed and fabricated the space from more than 200 aluminium offset press plates: the same plates used to print the book’s 576 pages. Further contributions come from three other practices in New Architects 5: Studio Armitage’s installation of a dry stone bench, THING studio, who designed a clay oven and aluminium chimney, and farrokh aman who catered our launch this week.

A collaboration between the Architecture Foundation and the Zaha Hadid Foundation, POST PRESS is made possible with the support of Panoramah!.

The first Community Technical Aid Centre (CTAC) was established in Liverpool in 1979. Supported by public funding, over 100 CTACs would open across the country, often in areas suffering high levels of deprivation and social inequality. Providing built environment services to people unable to afford professional fees, CTACs supported thousands of projects with technical aid encompassing architectural design, funding, operations, surveying, engineering, community work and rectification of housing issues. Today, almost none of this vital social infrastructure remains. Join us to travel ‘back to the future’: we will explore the legacy of CTACs and other spatial practices, and imagine ways to rebuild a design service for the people – strengthening the power communities have to shape their own neighbourhoods. Unit 38 will present a history of the CTAC movement, drawing on material from the Mayday Rooms archive.
