As 2024 draws to a close, it is time to reflect on what has been a year characterised by elections and global strife. I hope that now that 2024 is behind us the new year will bring some stability and opportunity for our members. 2024 has been a busy year for the Club and, as […]
The Architecture Club year kicked off, as always, with our Winter party, and what a party. The best attended on record. Clearly the word is out that the AC is fun and full of fascinating people. So much so that we must now consider a waiting list for future membership and for balance more non-architect […]
After 11 years as our Club administrator, Rowena has decided to pack up her bags (and the dog) and head home to New Zealand. Rowena is of course much more than an administrator, she is a friend to many of us and she will be sorely missed. I hope that many of you can attend […]
This has been a busy and successful year for the Club, we have a healthy membership of just over 340 and our events programme has probably never been as vibrant and busy. There is no doubt that the year was overshadowed by the untimely and unexpected passing of Michael Squire. Michael was a long-standing member of our […]
As our Centenary year draws to a close and we look back on the events of the past twelve months or so, the covid years seem like a dim and distant memory. Whilst we have been ‘back to normal’ with in-person Club events and parties, the world around feels anything but normal. 2022 has shifted […]
2021 started in Lockdown and, as I write, it looks as if we have narrowly missed ending it in one too. The restrictions that Covid 19 unleashed on us has inevitably impacted the way the Club operates. We had our first live event of the year on the 26th of July, a visit to RSHP’s […]

Peter has been a member of The Architecture Club since 1977 and was my predecessor as Honorary Secretary for over 30 years. […]
Our 2020 Winter Party at Squire and Partners, Upstairs seems like a world away. It was a very enjoyable evening in early February, “Dry January” was over, and all who attended were in very good spirits.We managed a really fascinating trip to 1 Finsbury Avenue on the 24th of February with AHMM and British Land, […]
We are pleased that technology has enabled the Club to keep in touch with you but no-one can pretend it’s the same as being in a room together. Lost are the cheeky asides and banter in between courses at our debates, and the catching up on work and family on our day trips. Again we […]
