Architectural Education as a Situated Practice and the Little Free Library

Architectural Education as a Situated Practice symposium

At the end of June, the London School of Architecture (LSA) hosted a discussion on the topic of ‘Architectural Education as a Situated Practice’ as part of this year’s London Festival of Architecture.

The festival’s theme of Belonging inspired the question of how an architecture school might belong within its surrounding context and how this relationship might inform the education it offers. 

Architectural Education as a Situated Practice symposium

Throughout this academic year, the LSA has been working with residents of the neighbouring Dalston Gardens’ Estate to design and build a new Little Free Library, replacing the existing book cabinet first installed by residents shortly after Covid. This collaboration builds on the LSA’s work with residents, which first started with the Dalston Pavilion in 2024.  

To further explore this approach to architectural education and belonging, the LSA hosted an event bringing together practitioners whose work engages with these themes. 

The Little Free Library, Dalston Garden Estate

We heard from: LSA Head of School and founder of Baxendale and Other People’s Dreams, Lee Ivett; Part 0 Programme Leads and founders of RC/YYC, Roy Coupland and Ya Ya Chen; founder of Unit 38, David McEwan; Senior Lecturer at Kingston and founder of Hayatsu Architects, Takeshi Hayatsu; founders of Matt+Fiona, Matt Springett and Fiona MacDonald;  and Part 2 Architectural Assistant Maria Wood.

Presentations were followed by conversations amongst attendees around specific themes explored in the presentations as well as tours of the Little Free Library led by LSA Part 2 students who helped design and build the structure. 

The LSA looks forward to continuing to work with residents and contributing to Dalston Gardens Estate!
