The Architectural Association Summer School Unit Leader Salary: Location: Reporting to: Department: Starting Date: Contract Type: Hours of work: Role Overview £4,800/ unit London – Bedford Square Summer School Head Visiting School 6th July 2026 Fixed-term Full-time; 35 hours Monday to Friday; 10am-6pm - Preparation time & Full-time (3 weeks teaching) 6th – 25th July 2026 The AA summer school welcomes applications for teaching fellows interested in leading summer school units. Ideal applicants have basic teaching experience and are ready to immerse themselves in an intense and creative environment for the month of July. This year, we are seeking applications from groups of tutors that can operate as a collective both in relationship to each other but also to run a group project with their students, promoting collaboration and collective design approaches as well as considering the implications of shared intellectual ownership. Learning from London: London; not a unified vision but a continuum of habits, infrastructures, signs, regulations, exceptions and compromises. London resists singularity and denies authorship. Architects learn from anything; they especially learn from looking at the city, paying attention to both its perks and its inconsistencies. This summer school debunks the myth of the sublime city and rejects the cult of the isolated architectural object. Instead, we choose to study what actually shapes the city and its architecture. Scale is of no importance: from the river and the parks to specific geometrical quirks of Victorian architecture, from heroic buildings gestures to the relentless accumulation of the ordinary, studying London is about challenging the limits of architecture as an autonomous discipline. This summer, we are going to produce multiple Londons as a critical practice of interpretation. We will align to the lineage of architect travelers who produced projects of observation and documentation in different forms and shapes: Learning from Las Vegas (Venturi, Scott-Brown and Izenur), Made in Tokyo and Pet Architecture (Atelier Bow- Wow), Delirious New York (Rem Koolhaas), One million acres and no zoning: Houston (Lars Lerup), amongst others. Page 1 Learning from London is not an endorsement of the city as it is. It is a contemporary experiment that considers architectural education as radical, inclusive, and deeply connected to the world. We welcome proposals from groups of tutors linked to the theme of Learning from London in specific and surprising ways. -The summer school is a project based programme. It promotes group work and is open to a variety of media (models, XL-models, drawings, XL-drawings, film making, performance, photography...). The documentation of the work that takes place during these three weeks is part of the teaching project and a responsibility of the tutors. -Tutors and students have full access to all the AA infrastructure (digital labs, model and wood shop, library, archives) throughout the duration of the summer school. -Each unit will welcome approximately 15 students (max of 20). -Each unit will showcase their work at the final Summer School Exhibition on July 24. -Each unit will organise and host a public event (lecture, party, drink- or combination of all) on a selected day during the summer school. -Each unit has a specific budget beyond the teaching fees. -Each unit is responsible to participate in the promotion of the programme before, during and after the summer school. Main Responsibilities • Lead a summer school unit. The participants will have diverse backgrounds and design skills so the unit brief should take that into consideration. • Participate in mid and final reviews. A series of reviews will take place halfway during the summer school creating conversations across the units. A final review schedule will organise and culminate the summer school dialogues. • Curate the unit’s participation in the exhibition. A final exhibition will take place the last couple of days of the school, units are expected to produce a display/ installation to showcase their work. The above list of job duties is not exclusive or exhaustive and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post. All staff must: • Comply with all legislative and regulatory requirements (e.g. Finance, HR, Health & Safety) • Adhere to the requirements set out in the AA Code of Behavioural Expectations and other institutional policies. Page 2 Person Specification Knowledge, Skills and Experience • Basic teaching experience. • Active professional and /or research activity. • Interest in participating in the larger project the Summer School aspires to operate as. • Applications from candidates who are not architects by training and/ or have no teaching experience are acceptable if there is a strong case to support their relevance to the summer school’s objectives.
