If you, like us, have been blown away by some of the architectural projects at London 2012 then you can see 'Design Stories: The Architecture behind 2012' at RIBA until September 25, 2012.
This month is a busy one in Birmingham:
At Brindley Place you can enjoy an outdoor, child-friendly film festival from August 13-28.
The British Glass Biennale starts on August 24.
And, if London 2012 has switched you on to athletics, the Aviva Birmingham Grand Prix is on August 26.
