The Abedian School of Architecture Lecture Series launched in 2013, and has since hosted an impressive guest list of both Australian and internationally notable architecture experts, bringing some of the world's most creative and talented architects to Bond University to share their insights with our community.
This semester, we are pleased to welcome three presenters, including Kevin O'Brien from BVN, a Brisbane-based architect whose work spans education, commercial and public spaces, with major projects such as Atlassian Central in Sydney and the new ATO offices in Canberra. We will also hear from Lachlan Nielsen and Morgan Jenkins from award-wining Brisbane studio Nielsen Jenkins, known for their context-driven approach to residential and commercial architecture across Australia.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear from leading voices in the industry!
