The exhibition is open in Unit 26, Victoria Leeds Arcade, until May 13, from 10am to 4pm.

It is a one-off exhibition curated by the Leeds Society of Architects, and aims to celebrate the work of over 30 architecture practices, to celebrate the wealth of design talent in the city.

RIBA President, Ben Derbyshire, said: "This is an extremely exciting opportunity for RIBA Yorkshire, Leeds is a wonderful, vibrant city and I am thrilled that architecture will take centre stage in Victoria Gate, which is a premier retail destination.

"I am a great believer in collaborative local activism to improve the quality of the built environment. The exhibition curated by the Leeds Society of Architects will, I hope, help to promote architecture to a new audience and demonstrate the positive impact that architecture can have on people’s lives."
