I'm interested in applying to grad school for architecture in Britain. I don't have an architecture undergrad degree. I'm currently in my Junior year at a university in the states. Is this okay? In the end, I'm planning on getting a PhD and becoming an academic, so licensing isn't necessarily an issue. Thanks!

Not really sure how far you are going to get if you don't have a BA or BSc in Architecture.....

UK is different that the US - Unis do not admit students into `MArch part II programs without an architectural degree - it does not have to be a Part I. Most international students who study are Part II's do not have a Part I but all have an architectural (sometimes Interior design) undergrad degree. Programme validation documents across all RIBA programs require this.
You could get into a 1 year Masters in Architecture degree (non-professional) or MA Architectural History and then do a PhD.
There are many academics in the UK that do not have architectural qualifications. I know a handful that teach design.
