2nd Wednesday of the month.  There is a waiting list for this group
2.30pm – 4.00pm
Group coordinator – Jill Johns

At the start members decided to look at modern architecture from 1900 onwards. We saw some films and members gave talks or asked outside speakers to give talks on Lutyens, Le Corbusier, Art Deco buildings in Napier, 21st century architecture and others. But it is always better to see buildings in the flesh (or concrete), so we have looked at modern building in Bristol and Bath, and members have organised visits to modern houses in and around Bradford on Avon.

It was then suggested that we look at modern additions to old buildings (we did a visit to the Holburne Museum), or at designed villages. We do not have to stay with modern architecture — we have already done a tour of historic buildings in Trowbridge and joined West Wilts U3A for a visit to Trowbridge Town Hall, and we have done walking tours of Calne and Devizes.

New members are given a group list with contact details when they join. If you want to ask any questions about the waiting list for this group before you join our u3a, then please come to one of our monthly talks or new member events. You can also contact a member of the committee via our Contact Us page.
