A visit led by Jamie Fobert Architects, at which AA Members will be granted exclusive access to Bromley Hall School which is a former school for physically handicapped children. This building is listed under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as amended for its special architectural or historic interest. The architecture company, Jamie Fobert, have a reputation for innovative and inspiring architectural design in the residential, retail and arts sectors.

Both a building visit and an on-site conversation, this series of events combines two of the best bits about architecture: walking through buildings and talking about them. AA Building Conversations brings together practicing architects and AA members to discuss in situ how existing buildings in London have influenced, sharpened or challenged the architects’ own practices and understanding of the discipline. The conversations will be triggered by AA PhD candidate Sofia Krimizi, but will be a collective construction among all those present.

While Tower Hamlets have granted us special access, the building has been boarded off for years with no electricity or sanitary facilities Visitors must wear hard hats, carry torches, bring a bottle of water and be watchful of trip hazards (the AA can provide some hard hats and torches if you don’t have one – please let us know). Visitors will need to stay with the group throughout the visit, follow a set route to minimise the risk of trip hazards and refrain from accessing any areas not included in the tour.
