Alumnus Enoch Chow (B.Arch ‘12) recently led a VR demonstration for students with the new equipment he donated to USC Architecture. Read more about his timely gift on our website (link in bio). ⬆️
We are so grateful to alum Thom Mayne for joining Dean Curry in conversation for @uscedu Reunion Weekend!

Axonometric of Structural Concept. Concrete base structure with booleaned cavities. Metal diagrid cage cap influenced by #twaterminal and #seatlepubliclibrary.
USC Architecture students studying abroad in Italy take us through a journey across the country in "Allora Magnanimo," the global studies project from the program. Highlighting different architectural styles throughout history, the exhibit also takes visitors through the students' travels in Europe and North America. Take a trip in the Lower Rosendin Atrium this week.
For ‘The Word in Space’ project in ARCH 105, students created a series of paraline drawings as well as a colored gel model. The project references the work of Ed Ruscha and Joan Didion. Axonometric drawings, formed of dimensions and observations that allow for 3D storytelling and analysis on the 2D field of the paper, were followed by drawings with color gradients not unlike Ed Ruscha’s own paintings. Their decisions were explored through the physical gel models, looking at form, color, and cast shadows. Studio coordinated by @eekstudio. 📷 from @goldencuev.
Walter Hood’s “Jocko Goes to LA” exhibit is on view now through Friday in Lindhurst Gallery in Watt Hall. Part of Hood’s 2018 research fellowship at the American Academy in China, the exhibition explores material possibilities endemic to trade between China and The West.
Thanks again to @fologm for leading us in this augmented mixed reality fabrication workshop last week! Using Microsoft HoloLens headsets, students were able to visualize the work in a heads-up display during assembly. Thanks to @texas_stranger and @shopnerd for organizing and the time lapse.
Lorcan O’Herlihy’s “Amplified Urbanism” exhibition is open now through Nov. 9 in Verle Annis Gallery! Make sure to visit while it’s here. @loharchitects
Take a seat! Students in this ARCH 205 building science class are finishing up cardboard chairs built without any additional support fasteners as a design project.
Matthew Simeone (M.Arch 2020) created a proposed exhibit mockup for the Space Shuttle Endeavor for ARCH 605a. His project explores the relationship between gravity and space through physical form.

Fourth year students from USC's School of Architecture dropped by the MAD office to learn about our design philosophy, tour our model gallery to gain insight into our projects, and of course, take in the beautiful views of Beijing's skyline from our rooftop terrace!
Midterm student projects from @ynotworkshop’s graduate architecture studio are on display now in Watt Hall. The “Lorem Ipsum” exhibit looks at LA in new ways, exploring the relationship between spaces, time and experience through 3D models, stills and video.
B.Arch student Amanda Moore shares one of her favorite projects from ARCH 202b. She conducted an analysis of a triple pitch roof shed with a truss framing system to further define new spatial conditions, while emphasizing the shed’s structural system and materiality.
B.Arch student Sameera Khurana investigated the physical and cultural context of a site in South Central Los Angeles to understand program density of “Co-Housing” for her third-year housing project. The proposed solution includes facilities to support the Ron Finley Project, a nonprofit entity promoting community gardening and access to healthy, locally grown food.
Midterms are in full swing! B.Arch student Thomas Gin tests out his heavy timber structure before fifth-year studio reviews today.
Luna Yueying Zhou (M.Arch +3, ‘19) shares her project from ARCH 505b. The concept of this project was to use different materials to create different kinds of boundaries for the architecture. The concrete core serves as the hard boundary, and the scaffolding provides a soft boundary.
Selected projects from Biayna Bogosian’s ARCH 410: Computer Transformations course, with teaching assistance by Ban Sheni. Incoming graduate students spent eight days learning 3D modeling, algorithmic design, GIS and representation tools.
Projects:
1) Leaf by Lu Chen, Bo Zhu, Dong LI, Yishun Qian. 2) LeviNets by Dixon Wong, Carlos Auces, Eric Mosher, Matthew Simeone, Billal Ashai. 3) HyperCircle by Chen Yichao, Han Chen, Binyan Hu, Chentian Lu. 4) Breeze by Fabian Dietrich, Sara Hegde, Emily Doyle, Shuchi Mishra
