The original lecture, "Splendour in the North", has unfortunately been cancelled due to Geoff's passing.
An Architect Abroad: Mr Street en vacances: This talk will follow G E Street's travels in France, Italy and Spain and, with the help of his sketches and his books and articles, show what he admired about foreign architecture and how he incorporated it into his own work.
