Gallery Glamour

We began in the morning separating the Glass Pavilion into sections and Uhauling it to the gallery, but when night came, the atmosphere changed. The gallery filled with the work of our fellow design students and its admirers. The Pavilion filled the central space reflecting colored lights throughout the gallery.

Exhibition

Our Glass Pavilion is going to be part of a collaborative exhibition with five other architecture schools Cal Poly Pomona, Otis, UCLA, and Woodbury. The show is called 2D3D-4: Quick and Dirty, and it is curated by Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter and Molly Hunker. We are excited to exhibit our work in a space with other aspiring designer’s work. Today we began the deconstruction process at USC cutting our pavilion into sections and loading them into a Uhaul. Several of us began the cleaning process, and tomorrow we will finish reassembling the pieces.

Graham Wood

Graham Wood is in his second year of the five-year bachelor of architecture program at the University of Southern California. Graham has lived in Los Angeles for the past two years and has witnessed first-hand many of the social issues of a large metropolitan area. This has led to an interest in the role of architecture and the built environment in solving social problems. How can a building be more than mere shelter and become a catalyst for successful personal and professional lives? How can that building be made economically feasible for all? Graham hopes to explore these themes throughout his time at USC and career.
