The LSA strives for a transformation in how architects and other built environment practitioners can learn to create more equitable and sustainable cities.
The school was founded as a radical disrupter of conventional forms of architectural education aimed at widening access to the profession.
Now ten years old, the LSA is undergoing an exciting period of growth by expanding its range of innovative academic programmes designed to respond to urgent social and environmental agendas.
Our purpose is to devise programmes at all levels that support the re-making of the urban built environment in that context.
We currently offer after-school courses in city making for 13-18 year olds (Part 0), a two- year postgraduate Masters (MArch) in Designing Architecture ARB/RIBA Part 2 and a post-professional programme of short courses for practitioners (Part 4).
The next project is to develop a series of new programmes, including at educational levels 4-6 (undergraduate degree equivalent) that specifically privilege green skills and multi- disciplinary thinking and practice in construction, engineering and other built environment disciplines.
Our Future Skills Task Force aims to gather rich and wide evidence to inform this strategic next step.The LSA is seeking a highly competent, creative and collaborative research associate to be a part of our team, leading on and coordinating this work.
