EAA Social Meet Up: Architects Talking

EAA Social Meet Up: Architects Talking

A new informal gathering organised by EAA for Edinburgh's architectural community, beginning with a conversation about a Centre for Architecture.

As part of the EAA's week-long takeover of A&DS:SpACE, the Edinburgh Architectural Association is launching Architects Talking, a new monthly informal gathering for Edinburgh's architects and friends from other professions and trades.

The aim is to create space for more relaxed conversations, informal exchanges of ideas and, who knows, perhaps future collaborations.

Each session will begin with a proposed topic, but we fully expect the conversation to wander in all sorts of unexpected directions.

For our first event, we're asking: What could a Centre for Architecture bring to Edinburgh?

What role could it play in the city? What might it look like? And what would it take to make it happen?

With A&DS:SpACE currently providing a temporary home for architectural exhibitions, events and discussion, this feels like a particularly timely conversation about the future of architectural culture in Edinburgh.

And who best to start the conversation, other than Rab & Denise Bennetts who have been among the most committed and consistent advocates for a centre for Architecture in Edinburgh?

Join us for a drink and a relaxed discussion. We're not quite sure where the conversation will lead, but that's very much the point!

Confirmed speakers:

Denise Bennetts - co-founder of Bennetts Associates

Rab Bennetts OBE - co-founder of Bennetts Associates
