The Architecture Centre

Narrow Quay, Bristol, BS1 4QA, England

The Architecture Centre is an independent organisation dedicated to the exploration and promotion of excellence in all aspects of the built environment. It was founded by the Bristol Centre for the Advancement of Architecture (BCAA), a charitable trust. The Centre's programme includes exhibitions, guided tours, visits, discussions, workshops and lectures. We are also working with schools and colleges on ways of using the built environment as a teaching medium. The Centre's principal aim is to encourage public demand for excellent design by increasing people's awareness and enjoyment of their built environment. We also aim to provide a meeting place for all professions involved in the creation and maintenance of the built environment.
