THE SCHOOL

Woodbury School of Architecture is a network of strategically sited hubs scattered within and reaching out of the complex megalopolis of Southern California. From the stereotypical low-density suburban fabric surrounding the main Los Angeles–Burbank campus, to the hyper-public noise of the WUHO Gallery's Hollywood neighborhood, to the packaged and revitalized polish of the blocks of Little Italy that contain the Merrimac Studio, to the borderlands, industrial, and speculator contrasts of the San Diego campus home in Barrio Logan, the school is engaged in the contexts that characterize contemporary inhabitation practices. Off of these platforms of tangible challenge and debate, the programs emphasize the development of the architect-citizen as cultural builder and facilitator of situationally critical and responsive design. Faculty and students, under this umbrella, are active and prolific, conceptually and practically, through multi-media material and technological production, across all scales and by interdisciplinary cooperation.

Interior Architecture Students’ Folded Crepe a Winner
BFA.IA, Student News

Two Woodbury Interior Architecture students, Caroline Morris and Bruno Block, were the second runner-ups in the annual AIA Interiors 1:2 competition. For the  all-day charrette  students were asked to design a temporary space that both accommodated and incorporated a food truck into the design. The students’ design, entitled the Folded Crepe, used the visual ideas of folding into a design that incorporated a module made of metal and plastics. The jury, made up of Braulio Baptista of ZGF Architects LLP, George W. Kelly AIA of Kelly Architects, Glenn Rasmussen of Gensler, and Jennifer Siegal of the Office of Mobile Design, praised the team’s design for clarity of idea, innovation of modular tectonics, and good orchestration of the users experience of space. Congratulations to the team for the excellent efforts and design.

Catenary Whorl Opens at Little Bear

OPENING: Monday, May 14, 5-7 p.m.
Little Bear
1855 Industrial Street
Los Angeles, Ca 90021

This past semester Woodbury School of Architecture graduate students designed and built Catenary Whorl in a class taught by David Freeland, of FreelandBuck. The students suspended an acoustic canopy above Little Bear, a boisterous gastropub in downtown Los Angeles.

Conceived as part of Freeland’s drawing and visualization seminar, Evolving Media, the canopy is composed of 5,000 feet of soft, thick rope, which hangs from the ceiling of the restaurant. The canopy diffuses and absorbs sound while creating a unique atmosphere. The rope is hand-dyed and the hues correspond with regions of color intensity identifying areas of acoustic absorption. Because the rope is hung more densely in some areas than others, the undulating surface subdivides the restaurant into smaller volumes, reducing reverberation time and creating distinct spatial qualities for bar, lounge, and dining areas.

Catenary Whorl was created by Woodbury School of Architecture graduate students in the visualization seminar Evolving Media taught by David Freeland. Zachary Schoch, teaching assistant; Ana Del Longo-Silberstein, Henry Cheung, Israel Castillo, Kemi Esho, Michael Kuroda, Pamas Moleeratanond, Roosevelt Golino, Sunny Lam

Drawing Explicit

WEDGE Gallery Pop-Up Exhibition
Student work from ARCH 565 Visualization 4
Instructor David Freeland & TA Zachary Schoch
Friday March 2nd – Monday, March 5th, 2012
Opening Friday, March 2nd – 6-8 pm

The drawing, as instrument of the avant-garde, has been a significant transmitter of meaning in architecture, not through its faithfulness to translating a message, but in terms of the properties inherent to drawing which are deployed in support of a given ontology.  Seeking the qualities inherent to computational drawing- multiplicity, systematicity, gradation – this class reimagines drawing in terms of visceral perception, a medium for the creation of a field of effects more atmospheric than Euclidean.

≥ Drawn: New Works by Jennifer Gilman

Opening: Friday, February 10, 6:30 p.m.
February 7-25
Wedge Gallery

Jennifer Gilman’s work takes the act of drawing and makes it physical. For ≥ Drawn, her site-specific installation in the Wedge Gallery, she uses the space as a canvas. Her work is performed at a 1:1 scale or as she writes, “the body occupying the building and the drawing simultaneously.” Gilman will transform the gallery over the course of several days, moving through the room and shifting her medium to respond to particular cultural, material, and phenomenological atmospheres. When the exhibition opens on Friday, February 10, it will mark just one point in the evolution of the piece. As such, Gilman’s ≥ Drawn is, as the title suggests, greater than any static drawing.

“We draw imaginary lines between all things—between art and architecture, drawing and sculpture, 2D and 3D, past and future, space and time, micro and macro, mind and body, thought and feeling, oneself and other,” says Gilman. “It is in straddling these thresholds that transubstantiation becomes possible: one eye cast in each direction, each seeing an alternate reality, the two images superimposed and vibrating in the imagination. It is this ambiguity that allows for the richness of association that interests me the most.”

Residents, tourists, visitors—the public—will reflect on, explore, experiment, and ultimately craft their image of a city. Runs thru January 29.
