Purcell partners with London School of Architecture

This collaboration is a fantastic opportunity for Purcell to engage with the next generation of architects and designers, helping shape their careers while bringing fresh perspectives into our practice. This partnership aligns with Purcell’s commitment to nurturing talent, encouraging innovation, and fostering an inclusive and supportive professional community. 

The partnership will provide several exciting development opportunities for both LSA students and our practice staff, including mentoring and volunteering opportunities, culminating in the placement of a Part II student from the school with Purcell.  

Kit Stiby Harris, Senior Architect based in our London studio, has been a teacher at the faculty and will resume teaching this year with a series of workshops. Last year, he was tutor to RIBA Silver Medal winner Ellie Harding. You can read more about the project here.

Neal Shasore, Head of School at the London School of Architecture, said "Adaptive reuse, resilience, a deeper sense of place: these are the abiding concerns of cohort after cohort of our Part 2 students. We are all conservation architects now. For that reason, we're thrilled to form a partnership with Purcell, among the leaders in their field. The practice's impact on heritage buildings in London is profound, but it is their regional and national scope which makes the prospect of our engagement with them so exciting - particularly as we grow our post-qualification digital learning programme."
