We celebrate 60 years this autumn!
In the autumn of 1964, Carl-Axel Acking, Bo Adamson, Carin Boalt and Sten Samuelson were appointed professors at the newly formed Department of Architecture in Lund. They were tasked with starting Sweden's third architectural programme and building up research in the field. They succeeded very well, and now 60 years later several thousand architects have graduated and hundreds of students have obtained international master's degrees. In research and postgraduate education, knowledge has been built up and hundreds of degrees have been awarded, most of them at doctoral level.
We want to celebrate this anniversary together with current and former students, employees, partners and the public.
During the autumn, we invite the public to our exhibitions, seminars and open lectures to celebrate our anniversary.

Klas Anshelm (1914–1980) was an architect and, since 1973, an honorary doctor at LTH. The son of an engineer, Anshelm trained as an architect at Chalmers University.
When he established his own architectural practice in Lund in 1947, he adopted a modern, function-driven style characterized by brick and concrete. In the late 1950’s he was tasked with the rapid construction of a new technical college in Lund. The Swedish state became a
significant patron, awarding him major projects at the universities of Lund and Gothenburg. This photo exhibition was curated by architect Per Qvarnström, a former student of the school. Qvarnström has organized several exhibitions and written a book on Klas Anshelm's work.
You can see the exhibition, outside our library | 16 September to 20 December 2024.
Open weekdays 9AM to 5PM - Welcome!
