Supporting a new generation of architects equipped and empowered to address the climate emergency

The London School of Architecture (LSA) is more than just an architecture school. 

Established in 2015, we are a social and creative community of students, educators, architectural practitioners and wider built-environment professionals collectively asking ‘what change do we want to see in the world?’.

Our Part 2 (ARB/RIBA) MArch programme unites a network of professional practitioners and academics to support a new generation of architects equipped and empowered to address the climate emergency and rampant inequity in urban life. We support students through our earn-while-you-learn model, designed for those with independent minds, not independent means. We also support fair access and participation in architecture, through an outreach and engagement agenda with programmes aimed at 13–19 year olds.
