WSOA In-Flux is a
publishing platform for student work launched by Woodbury
School of Architecture in 2020.
Woodbury School of
Architecture is distinguished by its multiple locations at the heart of the
Southern California creative industries: Los Angeles, Hollywood and San Diego.
Together, these sites form a critical infrastructure for architectural
investigations.
Our
undergraduate and graduate programs prepare students to effect positive change
in the built environment, to tackle theoretical debates, and to take on
architecture and interior design as critical practices. We educate our students
as entrepreneurs, citizen architects, and cultural builders equally committed
to professional practice, theoretical discourse, social equity and to formal
and technological inquiry.
Our faculty are
architects, designers, academics and policy makers practicing in Los Angeles,
San Diego and Tijuana. This internationally recognized and award-winning group
works closely with students to teach the skills required to push the limits of
practice.
Mission
Good
design is a human right. Woodbury School of Architecture produces graduates who
affirm the power of design to improve the built environment and the lives of
others by addressing the pressing issues of our time. We transform our students
into ethical, articulate and innovative design professionals prepared to lead
in a world of accelerating technological change.
Vision
The
future belongs to Woodbury. Woodbury School of Architecture creates an
environment that empowers our students to impact the future of the profession
through meaningful built work. We imagine a world in which there are no
disciplinary rights or wrongs, where diverse and sometimes contradictory values
collide to generate new ideas, design innovation, unexpected practices, and the
means to expand the influence of our discipline.
Woodbury School of
Architecture offers a welcoming environment for students to develop their own
unique design voice. We approach the design
disciplines multi-dimensionally, teaching a range of pedagogies and design
methodologies. Our students leave Woodbury with the confidence to engage
in local and global discourse.
Through
engaged faculty-student interaction, we transform our students into innovative
professionals with a commitment to the power of good design. Our students and
faculty share a commitment to sustainable practices, community outreach and
civic engagement.
Our
School of Architecture is among the first 14 accredited architectural programs
to be accepted for participation in the National Council of Architectural
Registration Boards (NCARB) Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure (IPAL)
initiative. Successful students will have the opportunity to have an
architectural license upon graduation.
We
believe that our school is a role model for the direction in which the
profession is heading – improving gender parity and ethnic diversity among its
members, and reaffirming the importance of ethical conduct and social
responsibility. Ours is a welcoming community for every race and orientation,
and we resist acts of intolerance in favor of thoughtfulness, generosity and
kindness. The economic, ethnic, and academic backgrounds of our students reflect
Southern California itself. We are determined to provide a place for open
debate, the respectful airing of differences, and for rich forms of expression
and imagination.
