The Lloyd Rees Memorial lecture was created in 1998 to honour the memory of the late Australian painter and lecturer Lloyd Rees, who was known for his passion and insights about the interrelation between art and architecture. Held every two years at the MCA in Sydney, this prestigious lecture is given by an architect or artist and looks at the significant impact of the crossover of art and architecture, issues of architecture, art, urban planning and cultural futures.
