The opportunity

The Stage 1 Leader is responsible for the provision of the academic leadership of the Stage 1 curriculum. The role includes teaching, curriculum development, and the day to day running of Stage 1 on the BA Architecture Course. The post-holder will work collaboratively within a course team, deploying specialist expertise to develop pedagogy and the curriculum in innovative and critical directions.

This course is part of the Spatial Practices Programme at Central Saint Martins.

Spatial Practices and BA Architecture
BA (Honours) Architecture (RIBA Part 1) is one of four courses within the Spatial Practices Programme at CSM. Spatial Practices has a growing reputation and is renowned for its socially-embedded and politically-engaged approach to architecture, urbanism and spatial design. Challenging the role of the professions and seeking out new agendas and methodologies for spatial practice that are engaged with the social, economic and political conditions of space is central to the ethos of the programme and the BA Course. BA Architecture is also deeply concerned with the climate emergency, decarbonisation, and the radical potential of new forms of making. With the recent appointment of a new Course Leader, and the launch of new experimental post-graduate courses, this is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the future of Spatial Practices at CSM.
