BE A STUDENT AT THE LSA – APPLY TODAY FOR 2017 INTAKE

Are you an explorer? If so, the London School of Architecture wants to hear from you. We are now recruiting our third cohort and are seeking the 30 most talented candidates to join us on our essential mission of transforming architectural education and practice

As the only discipline with spatial intelligence, the LSA has a deep-seated belief that architects have a critical role to play in shaping the world in the 21st century. Our school has been established to explore and promote all the ways that architects can contribute positively to the built environment – to offer spatial leadership and to create work that is propositional, relevant, innovative, metropolitan and entrepreneurial.

We want to prepare our students, not only for the profession of today, but of tomorrow. In order to rise to this challenge, our unique approach places a premium on architecture’s relationship to the city; collaboration as a working method; a research-based dialogue with practice; and a mission to establish a design identity and creative purpose within each individual student.

We want the architecture that our students – and ultimately our graduates – produce to be intimately related to the shifts in human behaviour that are emerging in this era of rapid change, and to design new forms of spatial organisation that are triggered by – and in turn provide an armature for – new patterns of living. And we want you to join us on this journey!
