Architecture
Meeting: 3rd Thursday at 2 pm
Venue: Our Lady's Roman Catholic Church Hall, Rickmansworth
Study Group Leader: David Smith
Vacancies
The group studies Architect, (Ancient, Modern, British and Foreign), and the buildings they designed and the various architectural styles they used or developed and what issues of their time influenced them. We usually cover one Architect each month and use PowerPoint presentations to show their work. At the end of the year a questionnaire listing proposed Architects and subjects for study is issued to each member asking for their preferences and proposals. This consultation forms the basis of the programme for the coming year. We make a few visits during the year to see some of the buildings studied
