On the night of 23rd of June 2012 London will host an exploration of cultural and architectural history on bicycles: an urban expedition called LONDON VELONOTTE. London Festival of Architecture has invited Velonotte to produce the event on the very first night of the Festival.
This unprecedented architectural event has been conceived by prof. Sergey Nikitin, young Moscow-based architectural historian. Prominent architects and cultural historians, including Peter Ackroyd, Ricky Burdett, David Adjaye and Peter Murray have been invited to narrate the moonlit bike tour which will take participants through the Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Tower of Hamlets, Poplar and Newham while discussing architecture, urban policy and cultural life, culminating in the newly built Olympic Village.
Velonotte has been brought to the world’s greatest cities by the non-profit Bureau de Velonotte/MosKultProg. Velonotte has been met with critical acclaim and public enthusiasm in Rome (with Jean-Louis Cohen, Piero-Ostilio Rossi and Vittorio Vidotto as speakers), New York (with Peter Eisenman, Ken Jackson and Alexander Neratoff), Terni and St. Petersburg (with Maria Makogonova, Sergey Tchoban and Boris Kirikov). The most recent event of this kind in Moscow in 2011 has attracted more than 6,000 people (watch a short documentary here).
We are truly grateful for the support of the Mottra Caviar House.
