The Architectural Association (AA) Greece Visiting School is a mobile workshop series which travels to cities outside the country’s capital. It functions as a "satellite" of education that promotes the Architectural Association’s exclusive, intensive form of teaching and learning around the country. It begins in the cities of Patras, Thessaloniki, and Chania and constructs large-scale models which will act as active nods of communication among the various locations.

The AA Visiting School will be at the University of Patras, School of Architecture, from September 22 to October 1, where it will investigate how well existing buildings with various sight-lines and variant spatial grammars perform according to human perception and how cultural factors, personal preferences, experiences, and expectations have led to their transformation. It initiates its design agenda with an architectural approach that is focused on the aspect of connection in the city of Patras - chosen by the European Commission as the European Capital of Culture for the year 2006. The concept of the event revolved around the main theme of "bridges" and "dialogues," drawing benefit from the city’s rich history and its position as a "Gate to the West," to underline the essence of the productive interaction of culture and civilizations in Europe.
