Sophia Gray (1814 –1871) was the first woman to practice architecture in South Africa and one of the earliest women in the world to do so. As a tribute to her achievements, the University of the Free State instituted the annual Sophia Gray Memorial Lecture and Exhibition in 1989 to recognise the contributions of a practicing architect.

This year’s lecture and exhibition is presented by Lucian le Grange.

The event will be live-streamed Thursday, 26 August 2021 at 18:50
