Events at the LSA

Each semester the Liverpool School of Architecture holds an open series of guest lectures, with noted practitioners and academics from the fields Architecture, Design and Art invited to speak to our undergraduate and postgraduate cohorts. These lectures are free and open to attend by members of the public or professionals, however registration is required.

To improve accessibility many of the guest lectures are a hybrid format (via a zoom link) to enable participation should travelling to LSA not be possible.

Our Autumn semester series runs on Wednesday lunchtimes at 1pm in the Reilly Lecture Room, 25 Abercromby, Square L69 7ZN.

For any queries please email lsaevent@liverpool.ac.uk.
