Visiting Teachers

London

Monday 21 May – Friday 8 June 2012

The AA’s innovative model as a place of education and debate attracts the interest of academic visitors from all over the world. As a response to this interest we offer a short programme to give teachers of architecture an opportunity to engage with the teaching and research of the school, and to develop a debate about the aims and strategies of teaching architecture. The programme offers meetings with students and teachers, involvement in the review and assessment activities throughout the school, and the opportunity for detailed discussion of ideas and methods of education. Participants will present work for debate in a seminar on educational ideas and methods. Immersion in the culture of the school through its programme of lectures, seminars and exhibitions is encouraged. Visits are also organised to important examples of architecture and planning in London, a city that offers a rich historical and contemporary record and is a laboratory of urbanism and architecture.

Applications

The programme is open to a small group of participants who are currently teaching architecture or related subjects, and it will run for three weeks from the end of May 2012. Applicants will be selected on the basis of a short written statement outlining the issues of architectural education that they find particularly interesting and challenging, and which should include details of their teaching and research experience. Applicants should also attach a curriculum vitae. Applications should be submitted as early as possible. Application statements and CVs can be submitted by email.

The deadline for applications is Monday 12 March 2012.

Fees

There is no fee required for this programme. Successful applicants are required to become an AA Visiting Member and pay a £50 AA Visiting Membership fee.
