The AD team is to provide professional level tours to members of the building professions. Our intention is to make research useful and enjoyable. Those visiting London with us have included architects, private developers, urban designers, councils, governmental and similar agencies, trade missions and institutional organisations from the UK, Europe, the USA and Japan. They usually want us to provide a study/research programme looking at specific subjects, e.g. office design, public buildings, housing, urban design, regeneration etc.

Lay-Public
AD believes appreciation of architecture is for all and that a greater understanding of the built environment by the general public will lead to a greater demand for high quality architecture. We therefore also have a good history of developing programs for non-professional groups.
