Boek een lez­ing over archi­tec­tu­ur en ste­den­bouw in Ned­er­land, gehouden door vakjour­nal­ist Anneke Bok­ern, archi­tect en docent Paul Vlok of een archi­tect uit het architour team!

Lezin­gen kun­nen los of als onderdeel van een tour geboekt wor­den. Ze duren ca. 45 minuten, gevol­gd door 15 minuten Q&A. Wij kun­nen ook een zaal of ruimte voor de lez­ing regelen.
