Dr Elisavet Hasa is a London-based architect, researcher, and lecturer. She holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Patras in Greece and a PhD in Architecture from the Royal College of Art.

She is a Lecturer in Architecture at London South Bank University, where she leads an undergraduate design studio and teaches dissertation and theory modules across various programmes. Elisavet has also supervised dissertations at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, and worked as a research assistant at the Royal College of Art.

Elisavet’s work focuses on urban transformations during times of emergency and community wellbeing, investigating how architecture can address urgent societal issues through a lens of care, participatory design, and the lived experiences of disenfranchised communities. Her research is informed by empirical studies and her participation in mutual aid and solidarity projects in Greece and abroad. She has published and presented her work internationally. Her forthcoming monograph, Building Solidarity Architectures: Collective Care in Times of Crisis (Goldsmiths Press, 2025), examines the “lived architecture”—the everyday practices and spaces—of collective care across multiple contexts, including Greece, Spain, the UK, and the US.

A registered architect in both the UK (ARB) and Greece (TCG), Elisavet has practised in London, Madrid, and Athens.
