Spring Lecture: Zaha Hadid Architects Jim Heverin on Bristol Temple Island

Join us for a Spring Lecture with Jim Heverin, Director at Zaha Hadid Architects, as he discusses the vision, thinking, and challenges behind the Bristol Temple Island project.

This talk will explore how large-scale urban regeneration can respond to complex contexts — combining infrastructure, public realm, sustainability, and architectural ambition. Drawing on Zaha Hadid Architects’ international experience, Jim Heverin will reflect on design strategies shaping the future of one of Bristol’s most significant development areas.

Set within the inspiring surroundings of Arnolfini, this lecture is ideal for:

• Architecture and urban design professionals
• Students of architecture, planning, and the built environment
• Anyone interested in Bristol’s future city-making

Jim Heverin is a Director at Zaha Hadid Architects, with extensive experience delivering major international projects and leading complex masterplans and cultural buildings worldwide.
