The LSA has an unusual history, having emerged as a collaborative initiative launched by a think-tank. To reach this point of fruition, the school is incredibly grateful for the generosity of our amazing founders and the creative input of our supporters.

The London School of Architecture is a new school for a new century. Our mission is to explore the full potential of architecture in today’s changing world. Our characteristics and values define who we are and how we operate.

The LSA has been established to offer an alternative postgraduate route into the profession. Our two-year programme is designed to invest our graduates with spatial intelligence and professional purpose.

At the forefront of global currents in architecture, the LSA is enriched by three distinctive ideals: small yet connected, we unite academia and practice and use the city as our campus.

Designed for students with independent minds not independent means, our educational model seeks to prepare students for the profession of tomorrow, while our financial model creates the UK’s first ‘cost-neutral’ course.
