Liverpool Architecture
The city is famous (apart from The Beatles and Liverpool FC!) for historic architecture such as the Catholic and Anglican Cathedrals, and for the Three Graces. More recently it has witnessed the controversial Fourth Grace debate as first Will Alsop then Broadway Malyan and 3 x Nielsen try and add a building at this key Merseyside site. Famous architects that achieved major architecture works here include CR Cockerell and Gilbert Scott. Liverpool was European City of Architecture in 2008.

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Liverpool Architecture. We cover completed Merseyside buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Liverpool. The focus is on contemporary Liverpool buildings but information on traditional Merseyside buildings is also welcome.
Liverpool Architectural Walking Tours
e-architect operate bespoke tours in most major cities globally. We established our Merseyside offering around 2011 with a tour for the Architectural Association of London (AA). This involved taking a large group of architecture students to see the important buildings, such as the Three Graces, but also to see the regeneration of the docks. A highlight was the visit to the amazing Titanic Hotel, a very dominant building with large floor-to-floor heights and a tough demeanour.
We have 4 pages of Liverpool Architectural selections.
