The Woodbury University (Burbank | Los Angeles) B.Arch program seeks to encourage students to participate in a critical architectural discourse through current research into new modes of production that blur the distinction between thinkers and makers. The School of Architecture is, in turn, a singular place where true dialogue is possible. It is a program where the idea - whether it is generated from the historical, theoretical, phenomenal, environmental, structural, analogue, or computational - can be made physical and tangible in an informed tectonic through the practical application of skills in writing, drawing, and building.
Because we have assembled a diverse faculty of full-time and adjunct professionals and teaching scholars, and because our student body reflects the cultural and socio-economic pluralism that southern California has long welcomed, this multivalent understanding of and approach to architecture and design education is possible. The shared characteristic of the products from this setting, then, is project optimism, out of which students consistently transmit hopeful ideas for the future.
