Our 27th annual heritage conservation summer course is in full swing! Yesterday’s schedule included a field trip to The Getty.
Our Chase L. Leavitt Graduate Building Science class of 2019! Congratulations to our new graduates of the master of building science program. ✌🏻
More scenes from EXPO 2019, an exhibition of student work from the class of 2019. Pictured here are graduate architecture thesis projects (part 2/2).

B.Arch student @brianchouser shares images of his final model from his third-year project, “Prism Public Pool.” The project proposes a new focal point for the Westchester Park community of LA.
Congratulations to the class of 2019!!! 🎓✌🏻🎓
Congratulations to M.Arch students Ban Sheni and Fabian Dietrich who won a citation award in last night’s AIA|LA 2x8 competition! Ban and Fabian won for 4300 Degnan, a middle-rise, high-density housing project in Leimert Park, Los Angeles that emphasizes community values and shared resources.
Our students are hard at work getting ready for EXPO 2019, our annual exhibition of student work from this year’s graduating class. Stay tuned for more exhibition photos to come or check out the exhibition in person on Friday, May 10 in Watt Hall.
Our second-year students presented their final projects to a super jury on Friday afternoon at the @aplusd_la. The studio studied materiality and specifically centered on an investigation of “L.A. School” architecture and its particular genealogy of how materiality evolved in Los Angeles.
A big thanks to our super jury for their time!

Fifth-year students in Erin Kasimow’s studio presented final projects last week that explored the intersections of art, architecture and food. Their final reviews included an interactive performance element that our critics got to enjoy.
Today we pause for study days but tomorrow we resume our final reviews! Here are additional snapshots of last week’s first-year reviews.
Our annual dean’s scholarship luncheon celebrated our talented student scholarship recipients and the generous individuals who make these scholarships possible. Thanks to students Josh Foster and Sarah Ladhani for sharing their stories! ✌🏻
Thanks to everyone who joined us last night for the 60th Anniversary USC Architectural Guild Dinner! We were thrilled to honor alumni Corinne Verdery and Gin Wong and business leader Victor MacFarlane as we celebrated 60 years of student support & programming from the Guild. ✌🏻
Informed Form is a design research seminar taught by @synthesisDNA that explores the relevance of architectural form as a product of discovery by examining the reciprocity between form (geometry), force (performance), matter (organization), and craft (fabrication). It investigates and extends the design research legacies of analogue form-finding in the works of Frei Otto, Antonio Gaudi, Heinz Isler, and Felix Candela by exploring digital and analogue techniques for discovering form through variable material and geometric organizations and force simulations, while simultaneously considering the design opportunities being afforded by advances in computation and fabrication technologies. Pictured is work from Minyue Ge and Meldrick Dizon of an outdoor pavilion proposal for the Watt Hall library roof.
Final reviews are underway! Congrats to our first-year students who presented yesterday, including those pictured here in @goldencuev and @myrnaayoub’s section. ✌🏻
With final reviews starting next week, today is a perfect day for a #tbt #repost from alumnus @brian_rohrlick (B.Arch ‘18).
...and there goes my last final review (10 out of 10) of my 5-year undergraduate architectural program. I can’t believe it’s all over now 😥 I was just starting to have some fun...
We’re thrilled to celebrate some of the recently published books from our incredible faculty! These publications offer a glimpse into the breadth and depth of research and creative work coming out of our School right now.
