MSA has appointed the Urban Splash Chairman as a Visiting Professor of Urban Regeneration, joining recently appointed author and SOM architect Mina Hasman, alongside a roster of five other renowned industry leaders.

Bloxham will be working across the School, bringing his extensive experience at a range of scales from landscape and urban design to architecture and the reuse of buildings. This will involve delivering lectures, tutorials, seminars, and masterclasses.

Speaking of the appointment, Professor Kevin Singh, Head of Manchester School of Architecture, said: “I’m delighted that Tom Bloxham is joining us as Visiting Professor of Urban Regeneration to complement our existing team of Visiting Professors in the School. Tom needs little introduction due to the incredible success of Urban Splash both in promoting quality architecture and design but also their role in the regeneration of East Manchester and elsewhere. Tom will bring a fascinating perspective of development and regeneration to our students across a range of our programmes. We are very excited to see the contribution he will make to our already world-class School of Architecture.”
