Event: Architectural Visions: A Journey Through Film Archives

Events

Join us for an afternoon of architectural exploration as we present a special screening of archive footage capturing the evolution of urban design.

At the heart of the event is Anglia Square, Norwich—a landmark of Brutalist architecture that has sparked debate, nostalgia, and visions of renewal.   This curated selection showcases architectural moments frozen in time, revealing how spaces influence communities, reflect societal change, and stand as testaments to ambitious city planning.

This event has been organised as part of Norfolk Heritage Open Days and will feature an introduction and Q&A.

The screening will take place on Tuesday, 16th September at 2pm.

This event is free to attend, but spaces are limited.  We recommend that you reserve a seat in advance to avoid disappointment.  Booking opens on Monday 18 August, 10:00am  Let us know you’re coming >>>
