Me, my teaching context and PgCert

A site visit to Meridian Water in October 2022.

My name is Laura Linsi. I am an Associate Lecturer at Central Saint Martins, UAL. Together with Roland Reemaa, I teach a design studio at the BA Architecture (Hons.) Course. It is my third academic year doing that.

I also teach at the Estonian Academy of Arts since 2018, where most recently, I have become an Architecture MA thesis supervisor. And I am a part of an international team who is setting up an MA Architecture Programme at the Latvian Academy of Arts in Riga. I also work as an architectural designer and I’m starting a new job as a magazine editor in the coming months.

A lot of my teaching has been intuitive up until now and although I recognise getting better (more inclusive, empathic, effective) at it, I would like to find structure and confidence in my methods, to consolidate the ones I observe working well as well as to learn about contemporary and well-working methods rather than spend a ridiculous amount of time re-inventing the wheel. These are my main objectives for the PGCert course.
