Architecture Walks - How does it Work?

Introduction

e-architect has been operating Architecture Walking Tours since 2001.

Adrian Welch and Isabelle Lomholt - directors of e-architect - both trained as architects. We realised some cities only had architecture tour guides that focused on the historical buildings. Over the years we've discovered thousands of people who wished to tour key contemporary buildings, within the historic context.

e-architect operate both architecture walking tours and architectural bus tours. Our walking tour guides all have an architectural background and many of them are also architects. We have a suggsted itinerary for each city but many of Clients request tailored architectural walking tours. Please consider how much time you need for your tour and your preferred mdoe of transport - some tours work well by bicycle or bus but typically walking is preferred.

We are more than happy to accommodate your needs and interests for your architectural tour.

Walking Tours

Architectural Tours can focus on contemporary buildings, traditional buildings, or both. The Architecture Tour can be an introduction to the city's main buildings or can be tailored to your group's architectural interests. For some cities we can also arrange an architectural bus tour.

e-architect have set tour programmes that aim to show the key buildings in a city. The walking tour can be tailored if sufficient notice is provided. For example a group of architects interested in innovative social housing or new office buildings could be provided with tailored information allowing a tour programme to be agreed prior to their visit.

Architecture Offices

We have numerous positive referrals for walking tours in a range of cities, please contact Isabelle for details. Typically tours are for groups of architects from a specific design studio or from a specific architectural association or institution. We have arranged architecture walking tours for individuals and couples but please note our prices are not per person. Our architecture tour guides are paid by the hour so the more people on the tour the lower the individual price if paying jointly (most tours are paid by the office, association or institution).
