The Architectural Association (also known as AA School of Architecture) is the oldest independent school of architecture in the UK. It was founded by a group of dissatisfied young architects in 1847 to provide a self-directed, independent education at a time when there ws no formal training available. In 1901, the school moved premises to the former Royal Architectural Museum. In 1920, it moved again to its current premesis. After 150 years, the AA attracts students from more than fifty countries worldwide.
Courses are divided into two main areas _ undergraduate programmes, leading to the AA Diploma, and postgraduate programmes, which include specialised courses in housing and urbanism, energy and the environment, history and theory, design, as well as day_release course in building conservation, garden conservation, and environmental access. Since its foundation, the School has continued to draw its teaching staff from progressive international practices, and they are reappointed annually, allowing a continual renewal of the exploration of architecture
