“What an excellent set of talks. Having the talks on the buildings and places we were to visit really enhanced the tours and clarified so much of what the tour guides told us about. Thank you and best wishes”

Architectural History

 

The programme of talks on Architectural History consists of self-contained lectures to introduce the architecture, building and civil engineering works that have had a significant effect in History and which today form some of the world’s most famous landmarks. Each lecture covers the historical background to the site or project, the people involved and facts about their construction: It also covers the effect that it has had on its people and its relevance to history generally.

Additional information and a video which provide an insight into some of the sites by taking the viewer on a musical virtual tour can be found by visiting the Famous Historic Buildings website maintained by Ron; to visit this sight click on the photo below.
