Northeastern University London

Location: London, Devon House (St Katherines Dock)

Term: Full-time / part time available (Up to December 31, 2023, in the first instance)

The Role

Northeastern University London wishes to appoint a Lecturer in Architecture to lead a fundamental architectural representation course and/or a fundamental architectural design studio.

In architectural representation, prospective applicants should be able to introduce students to architectural representation as a form of documentation, experimentation, and communication through a series of exercises in orthographic, axonometric, and perspectival projection as well as physical and digital modelling. The proposed course will help students develop an iterative design methodology by introducing students to the tools of representation. Prospective applicants should be able to lead theoretical lectures and workshops in analogue and digital media development.

In architectural design, applicants should be able to guide students through several approaches to spatial organisation, massing, and envelope articulation through the analysis of pertinent case studies as well as through a series of design exercises. Specific subjects include site planning, architectural programming, relationship of space and form, development of fundamental representation skills (plans, sections, perspectives, orthographic projection) through both hand-drafting and digital drafting skills.

We particularly encourage applications from those with an interest in innovative teaching, learning and assessment; those with experience of supporting a wide variety of students; and those belonging to groups underrepresented in UK higher education. We are open to appointing on a reduced fraction/job-share basis subject to our business needs.

Department

Northeastern University London is embarking upon an exciting phase in its journey by establishing a new department in Design & Communication Studies. We are in the process of hiring a new Head of Design & Communication Studies, further developing and growing our portfolio of courses in architecture, architectural history and design, and enhancing our association with Northeastern University through closer ties with The College of Arts, Media and Design (CAMD) in Boston.
