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

Back in Barcelona with the USC students, visiting Gaudi’s Park Guell.
In their 505a charrette competition, M.Arch +3 students Ryan Cripps, Lingyu Huang, Aira Iglesias, Mel Lewis and Evan Rubel designed and constructed a free-standing, self-supported 1/8”-1’0” tower. The project prompt required a minimum of one embedded atrium.
M.Arch +3 student Drew Ericsen’s 505b project explores dialogues between inside and outside. The project looks at the formation and development of spatial concepts, in this instance based on a close reading of selected ideas in Robert Venturi's seminal text “Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture.”
505a students visited important and iconic buildings in Southern California to build camaraderie through activities outside of studio. Instructors Eric Haas and Doris Sung snapped the group at Revelle College at UCSD and Salk Institute in La Jolla.
Thanks to Christian Kerez @christiankerez for an engaging lecture this week and for participating in our fall public programming. Our lecture series resumes on Sept. 26 as we welcome Mark Lee from @johnstonmarklee.
Assistant professor Jose Sanchez @jomasan has won acclaim for his architecture-inspired video game, Block’hood. Both an educational game and a research initiative, Block’hood explores the connection between games and architecture.
