Our 60th anniversary in October 2024
We celebrated our 60th anniversary in October 2024.
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 celebrated this anniversary together with current and former students, employees, partners and the public.
During the autumn, we invited the public to our exhibitions, seminars and open lectures to celebrate our anniversary.
Our mingle took place on Friday 11 October from 6:30 PM.
Exhibition Hall, A-building, Klas Anshelms väg 16, 223 62 Lund. There was no need to pre-register.
We welcomed 350-400 guests during the evening.
Fritte Fritzson, Swedish comedian and architect, trained at our school, was our host for the evening.
