For anyone interested in modern / 20th century architecture. There is no need to be an architect or to have any experience of the building trade.
The convenor is a retired architect but still very interested in learning more about modern architecture and she leads the presentations.
In the group we have been looking at modern (20th and 21st century) buildings worldwide and the architects who created them as a way of understanding and appreciating them.
The first subject we looked at was housing (eg private housing, high density housing). We then looked at modern churches/chapels, as well
as mosques and synagogues, and the sister topic ‘Architecture of Memory’ related to remembering events (i.e. 9/11, the Holocaust).
In November 2023 we moved on to the fascinating subject of libraries and from April this year we have started to have a further look at housing. At the end of 2025 we will be moving onto a new topic.
So lots of interesting buildings to discover.
