In 2017, the School was renamed as Kingston School of Art. In doing this, it was reclaiming a long-established heritage and identity. Teaching art and design began in Kingston in the 1870s. Now re-establishing its historical identity, Kingston School of Art has a new and sustained agenda with international ambitions, built on a century of commitment to practice-based excellence.
Kingston School of Art has four distinctive features that combine to set it apart from other universities, they are: The art school experience; practice–based learning; working closely with businesses, with communities and with the creative and cultural industries internationally; and world–class facilities. The School is home to Art and Architecture, Critical Studies and Creative Industries and the Design School.
The Department of Architecture and Landscape at Kingston has established a clear position within the UK context of architecture and landscape education. Our concern with continuity in architectural culture, and in making work which is sensitive to situation and context, places us in a notional community of European schools in places as diverse as Ireland, Switzerland, Scandinavia and Iberia. The graduating practitioner from Kingston is a generalist capable of thinking and making with the technical and critical skills required to be both nimble and empowered to act in today's diverse architectural and landscape culture. Our reputation is reflected by our continued presence in the Domus listing of the top 50 Architecture Schools in Europe, and our students and staff continue to win prestigious industry awards, including regular successes in the RIBA President's Medals.
