FROM OPEN HOUSE COMMITTEE
Just a line to say a BIG thank you to you and your team for your efforts, time and resources which you commit to Open House London. We hope that your participation was a rewarding and successful one! Please pass on our sincere thanks to all involved.
Your enthusiasm in supporting the aim of the charity in developing a better understanding and knowledge of architecture, engineering and design across all sectors of society is terrific and it was great to meet many of you over the weekend and see first hand the swell of interest with thousands out in force enjoying London’s great buildings.
The "Open House Contemporary" programme and "Junior Open House" are our next projects and it's great to continue working with some of you during the year in extending architecture education.
Open House London 2006 will take place on 16 & 17 September and we hope to be able to invite you to join the programme again.
With thanks and best wishes from Victoria, Nicolette & Jeni the whole of the Open House team.
