You don't need any specific architectural knowledge. The sessions are for those who have an interest in the built environment, like to visit buildings, discuss ideas on design and view the works of various Architects, and don't mind the occasional few days away to discover the delights and horrors of our surroundings.

The core programme is 'The History of Western Architecture', everything from the Pyramids to the Shard, from Athens to Ancoats, from the 3 bed Semi' to the Chrysler Building and from Bauhaus to Bus Shelters.
