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).
Sophia Robson, Conservation Architect
Our November speaker has an MSc in historic conservation and recently qualified as an Architect Accredited in Building Conservation. She works in the premier practice Tom Ford Architects in London and has advised on many very well-known historic buildings.
We have asked her to select some of her favourite projects to present to us. This may include a tower, museums, churches and cathedrals from all over the country. Sophia will shed light on this little-known branch of the architectural profession and explain how satisfying and rewarding it can be.
