Leeds School of Architecture at Leeds Beckett University

Established in the early 1900s, the Leeds School of Architecture (LSA) at Leeds Beckett University is dedicated to continually examining what it means to practice architecture. Our determination to test and expand the discipline is evident in our distinct framework of experimental and ethical pedagogy. We explore architecture’s possibilities and responsibilities within societies, across cultural systems, and toward shared environmental and ecological domains. Our courses in Architecture, Interior Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Expanded Spatial Practices, and Architecture Futures embrace the concept of ‘architecture as multiplicity.’ These courses unfold architecture’s intersections with other disciplines and its mediated, digitised, coded, augmented, and hybridised existences, along with the radical potential of new forms of making. This multifaceted approach is supported by a network of collaborators, visiting practitioners and staff who provide students with the agility to navigate a wider offer across the Leeds School of Arts and the self-assurance to form a position within it. Students develop projects that tackle the most pressing and polemical issues in our society. These dynamic engagements, along with our interdisciplinary studio culture, are facilitated by the exceptional provision at Broadcasting Place and the wider resources across the School of Arts.
