JOB OPPORTUNITY:  DESIGN TECTONICS TUTOR

APPLY BY 13 JULY 2022

The London School of Architecture is looking for a Design Tectonics tutor to join the team.

JOB OVERVIEW

The London School of Architecture is seeking applications for exceptional tutors who can support the Design Tectonics module across its two-year MArch in Designing Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 2) programme.

Design Tectonics at the LSA is a design and analysis module that asks students to fully integrate an appropriate tectonic strategy and investigation into their design thesis project. The module supports students to carry out advanced analysis, speculation and testing for the use of materials, structures and environmental strategies in the development of a resolved architectural proposal. Embedding safe and sustainable design principles are fundamental to the success of the design tectonics module. 

 We welcome applications from:

• experienced architectural practitioners with a broad range of technical interests and methodological approaches from across the built environment
• experienced architectural practitioners who would like to share a deep knowledge of statutory processes within practice, as well as the environmental, structural and material aspects of developing an architectural design
• experienced architectural practitioners with a high level of climate literacy 
• architectural practitioners who are able to help post-graduate students hone their analytical and testing skills to achieve a high level of technical resolution
• those who are eager to engage in the LSA’s innovative pedagogic model of uniting practice and academia by helping to advance architectural design through the integration of technical knowledge

Applicants should:

• subscribe to the mission for the school and be able to make a critical contribution to it: www.the-lsa.org/about/purpose/
• experienced tutors to have at least four years’ teaching experience (i.e. not just as a visiting critic)
