The London School of Architecture (LSA) is an independent higher education provider registered through the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The first cohort of students were enrolled in 2015.

The LSA was founded as a radical disrupter of conventional forms of architectural education aimed at creating more equitable and sustainable cities and 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.

We currently offer 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 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.
