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.
If you are a current or former student/employee or partner we invite you to our mingle on Friday 11 October from 6:30 PM.
Exhibition Hall, A-building, Klas Anshelms väg 16, 223 62 Lund. Welcome!

11 September | Exhibition Autumn Salon | Opening 5:00 PM
A-building, Exhibition Hall, Klas Anshelms väg 16, Lund.
The exhibition shows a wide variety of student work from year one to five.
The Lars ”Jim” Asklund Scholarship will be awarded for the first time at the Autumn Salon and architect Jim Asklund will be present at the ceremony.
‘The donation will support education in architecture at Lund University through travel grants to students in the field.
Jim Asklund travelled extensively as a student at the School of Architecture and therefore wants to enable architecture students to visit and experience historical and contemporary architecture in different countries.
Priority in awarding scholarships should be given to applicants with an itinerary that demonstrates curiosity to experience architecture and urban spaces from different cultures, a desire to travel, a desire to gather impressions and be inspired for future architectural practice.’

18 September | Book Launch Artificial Intelligence and the City: Urbanistic Perspectives on AI
18 September 15:00-17:00
E-building, Room 1426, John Ericssons väg 2, LTH campus
This book explores in theory and practice how artificial intelligence (AI) intersects with and alters the city. The contributors draw upon theories and methods from urban geography, planning, architecture, science and technology studies, sociology, and political science to examine case studies of autonomous vehicles, urban robots, platforms, algorithms, and city brains. The findings reveal the multitude of repercussions that AI is having on society, infrastructure networks, governance processes, and urban transitions.
This book launch will provide an opportunity for the editors to introduce the book and engage in a roundtable discussion with the panellists and audience members about current and future issues related to urban AI.
Panellists
Andrew Karvonen, Architecture and the Built Environment, Lund University, (Chair)
Robert Willim, Digital Cultures, Lund University
Lorena Melgaco, Human Geography, Lund University
Otello Palmini, Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Ferrara
James White, Technology and Society, Lund University

11 October | Exhibition | Opening - Architectural Design and prototypes
The architectural profession is constantly trying out new approaches as each project can have different conditions. However, sometimes we need to free ourselves from conventions and our own limitations. In the Design Process and Prototype course, we will complete an idea from sketch to relatively finished result through cross-disciplinary work at a manageable scale. We will benefit from other disciplines' approaches/methodologies. Cross-border encounters can generate new unexpected results and constraints can result in more creativity than free work without a framework. Study the world around you with open eyes and learn from others' discoveries and approaches. Challenge yourself! Remember that there are no failures, only lessons learnt.

Maybe you want to settle a class reunion with fellow students from the past? Take the opportunity to meet old and new friends!
We create the environment and the conditions, you bring out the party mood and join us.

14 October | Exhibition | Miniatures | Industrial Design students
Industrial Design students are exhibiting the course assignment Miniatures during the period of 14 October to 16 October in the Black Box. Miniatures deals with sitting furniture in scale 1:5. The aim of the assignment is to apply an experimental approach to design method, furniture form and function, as well as furniture materials, and invent a novel piece of sitting furniture. The small scale is chosen to allow students to try out many different solutions throughout the design process. By working with a miniature furniture, the students will also improve their abilities to deal with scale models. The experimental research process and the design process are both documented and reflected upon in a folder.

9 September - 20 December | Exhibition | What about Anshelm?
Klas Anshelm (1914-1980), architect and since 1973 an honorary doctor at LTH, was the man commissioned to build a new technical college in Lund in a short time. He was himself an engineer's son and had some artistic dreams, trained as an architect at Chalmers. When he set up his own architectural practice in Lund in 1947, he embraced a modern function-based style of brick and concrete. The Swedish state became a major employer and gave him large commissions for the universities in Lund and Gothenburg.
This photo exhibition has been compiled by architect Per Qvarnström, a former student at the school. Per Qvarnström has organised a number of exhibitions and written a book on Klas Anshelm's work.
You can see the exhibition, outside our library. during the period 9 September to 20 December 2024.
