The group is well established and has followed a varied and successful programme which is well attended. We enjoy talks from those with a particular knowledge of or interest in a given field, followed by discussion and questions.

We have a varied programme of talks and presentations on e.g an architect, a building or a development. Occasionally we have a meeting with shorter contributions and discussion.

Our recent programmes have included

• Barcelona and Gaudi
• Controversial buildings, Bilbao
• The Guggenheim Effect
• The Buildings of Helsinki

Talks are not particularly technical, and are suitable for anyone who is, or could be, interested

We have had several visits led by our subject specialist, Richard Pealing, to places of architectural interest in Kendal.

We are a friendly group and welcome newcomers - our talks are open to all South Lakes u3a members - you don't need to join the group and can drop in to what ever interests you.
