AA Building Conversations with John OMara

This building visit led by John O’Mara will take place at All Saints, 7 Margaret St, Fitzrovia, London W1W 8JG.

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 Sofia Krimizi, but will be a collective construction among all those present.
