Join RIBA Somerset at the Museum of Somerset in Taunton to welcome in the festive season with friends and peers in the built environment.
Piers Taylor is our special guest who will be talking about 'Actions of architecture: How architecture can act and the change it can make'. There will be plenty of time for questions and conversation if there has always been something you have wanted to ask them.
We will also be joined by Klas Hyllén from RIBA Award winning Hyllén Architecture talking about their work and inspiration through time spent outdoors.
Afterwards, the space is ours to enjoy the special atmosphere at the museum, while having a drink and a bite to eat.
The ticket includes a free drink and a delicious winter buffet of local fare.
