A visit led by Stephen Bates of Sergison Bates Architects, at which AA Members will be granted exclusive access to Chandos House, designed in 1769 by Robert Adam, the most prominent architect in Georgian Britain.
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.
