There are six Design Studio modules across Year One and Two at the LSA. The modules build towards an understanding of the systems and structures of the city. Design methodologies are developed in collaboration with peers and practices and establish the context for a students’ individual design thesis.

• practitioners who have a broad range of design methodologies to draw on to meet a range of student thesis topics
