Our Centre
The Architecture Centre is open to everyone, 5 days a week (we are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays - view our opening hours). Admission to our harbour-side gallery is free.
The Architecture Centre occupies a beautiful 18th century warehouse in the heart of Bristol's historic docks, located between the Arnolfini gallery and the Youth Hostel.
Converted in 1996, the Centre now comprises office space (currently occupied by The Architecture Centre and Studio Diva) and an intimate and welcoming gallery.
The Architecture Centre is highly respected as a reliable source of information on all aspects of architecture and the built environment. We extend our impact by producing resources to support many of our activities. We have compiled case studies and information sheets to accompany many exhibitions. For the Sweet History project, which explored the impact of the sugar and slave trade on Bristol’s built environment, the Centre produced a dedicated web site and walking trail leaflet.
