Architecture and Design
The Architecture & Design club dates from 1999 when the University ran a series of seminars, during Glasgow’s year as City of Architecture and Design. Now in our 24th year, we are pleased to bring you a diverse and interesting programme of talks for this coming year.
All talks will commence at 2.00pm and take place on the ‘second’ Thursday of the month in the 7th Floor Conference Room (Number GH742), Graham Hills Building.
The exception is the AGM which will start at 1.30pm.
This information will also be posted on the notice board in the 2nd Floor Common Room and on the 3Ls website (3ls.website/clubs/architecture-and-design/).
