The Society was established in the 1970s. It aims to encourage the study and enjoyment of architecture, buildings, their contents and settings by organising lectures and visits. It usually holds its lectures in the Fine Art Lecture Theatre, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, and enjoys a close association with the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape of Newcastle University. (Read our constitution, revised October 2018).
Women's Work in the 'man-made' environment
Although women have long been involved in making and designing the built environment, their contributions have been largely invisible. For our March lecture, Prof. Katie Lloyd Thomas explores their contributions, as patrons, designers, activists and in the production of buildings and materials.
