ARCSOC
ARCSOC is the Department's Architecture Society, hosting club nights, [2] [3] as well as guest lectures and highly popular life-drawing evenings. [4] The society entirely self-funds, organises, and designs the Department's end-of-year exhibition, typically held in London. Reviewing the 2017 edition held at Bargehouse OXO Tower for the Architects' Journal , James Soane praised the "skilful explorations of materiality and narrative" on display. [5]
