Exhibitions
The Architecture Centre looks to the very best that contemporary architecture has to offer as its inspiration. We want to share our passion for the possibilities of great building: we champion better buildings and places for everyone.
Our exhibition programme ranges from examples of excellent and/or innovative architecture and design, in the region and beyond, to outputs from our education, design action and public participation programmes. We also focus on shows which explore current built environment issues, and work with artists and other creative practitioners who explore issues related to the built environment to highlight key issues.
