A special celebration of architecture across our city and county is taking place next month.
FANN17, the fifth biennial Festival of Architecture in Norwich and Norfolk, is organised by Norfolk Association of Architects and features the work and ideas of the county's architects and outstanding work in Norfolk by architects from further afield. The main NAA Architects' Exhibition is at The Forum from October 3 to 13 and will also feature the finalists of the FANN17 photography competition. The deadline for entries was earlier this week and the finalists are currently being decided. Other FANN17 events will take place throughout October.
'It is a celebration of architecture in the county and the work of local architects,' said Jerene Irwin, president of NAA.
'It aims to deliver a wide range of events that stimulate the public interest in architecture in Norfolk, by those that are passionate about it. It also gives local architects and artists the opportunity to engage with their widest possible audience.'
