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.'DESIGNS on the Future', an exhibition opening at the Royal Festival Hall this week, charts the changing face of London's South Bank and looks at people, events, buildings, businesses, and surveys the array of plans and schemes inspired by architects and planners over 200 years. Interactive film displays, photographs, drawings and models show many of the current plans. As well as the South Bank's own competition to select an architect to transform its buildings, there is the British Film Institute's plans to build an Imax cinema, the County Hall development (from seat of London government to hotel and leisure centre), the Oxo Tower refurbishment and the recently launched pounds 35m improvement plan by the South Bank Employers' Group.
'Designs on the Future: Architecture on the South Bank', Royal Festival Hall, until 12 June, admission free.
