Architectural School Association off Architecture

The Architectural Association (also known under the name of AA School off Architecture) is the oldest school of independent Architecture to the the United Kingdom. It was founded by two Architecte S dissatisfied, (Robert Kerr, 19 years, and Charles Grey, 24 years) in 1847 to propose an independent course at one period when there did not exist any similar formation.

The school is concretely established in 1890. In 1901, it moved in the old Royal Architectural Museum. In 1920, she moved again to settle in her current buildings, with Bedford Square in the middle of London (she has since asset of the additional buildings on John Street as well as a site with Hooke Park in the Dorset). After 150 years, the AA attracts students of more than fifty countries in the whole world.

The courses are divided into two principal fields:

  • programs of student preparing a license, driving with the Diploma of the AA
  • higher university programs, including courses specialized in the paysagism, urban housing, energy and the environment, the history and the theory, research in Design, as well as formations day laborers of maintenance of building, garden, or of environmental access. Since its foundation, the school selected each year its teaching body in international and progressive practices, allowing a continual renewal of architectural exploration.
The school is known not to depend on the university system of State (just as the university of Buckingham), with the registration fee comparable with those of a private school, in spite of the availability of grants méritoires. The non-European students having to pay registration fee raised for all the public universities of the United Kingdom, the tariffs applied by the AA remain in comparison relatively accessible, thus the proportion of foreign students is higher there compared to the majority of the other schools of British architectures.
