2020年受疫情的影响，哈佛、耶鲁、UCL等海外名校纷纷发布了线上毕设/设计展，以展示学术研究成果。USC南加州大学建筑设计ARCHITECTURE 方向展出了共计178组的作品，本次一格将播报上半部分共计92组作品。 
GRADUATE FINAL PROJECTS下14个研究方向一格将对本次UCA南加利福尼亚大学建筑设计展进行全面报道，帮助国内同学更好更快地了解海外一手设计成果。以下为建筑方向92组设计成果全播报。
1 DIALOGUES BETWEEN INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDEArchitecture can be seen as a strange amalgam of enduring principles and continual change or flux. Yet, while walls, stairs, windows and other architectural elements are the physical manifestation of this language, it is form’s immaterial other—space, light, movement, and other ephemeral phenomena—or more specifically, the relations between them—that constitutes what might be called Architecture’s intrinsic nature. Consequently, in this studio equivalent attention is given to the introduction of fundamentals, defining (and solving) architecture problems, and the acquisition of skills and disciplinary knowledge as it is to questions of space, program and representation.The final project of the semester focused on the architecture of domestic space, the formation of spatial concepts, and the relationship or dialogue between interior and exterior space. Beginning with a re-reading of Venturi’s seminal text on form, Complexity and Complexity in Architecture, the studio analyzed selected passages from “Chapter 9: The Inside and the Outside.” Students were asked to do a close reading and critically extend and translate the underlying principle into an architectural proposition for a micro-dwelling, a guest house for a visiting evening lecturer. The site was the existing “Chapel” structure adjacent to Watt Hall, at the corner of Watt Way and Bloom Walk.DOMESTICITY AND THE PUBLIC REALMOSCILLATING RELATIONSHIP IN LAYERED SPACESFUNCTIONAL POCHÉ + FLEXIBLE SPACECOMPLEMENTARY DIFFERENCESPRIVATE, BUT KIND OF PUBLIC. PUBLIC, BUT KIND OF PRIVATECONSOLIDATING CONTRADICTIONPRIMARY SPACES AND PERIMETERSTOPOGRAPHIES FOR SUCCESSION: A NEW FOREST IN MACARTHUR PARKThe studio concerned itself with the area in and around MacArthur Park in the neighborhood just west of downtown Los Angeles. MacArthur Park is one of the oldest parks in the city in a neighborhood that has seen dramatic changes throughout its history – from an area of neglect, to an upscale neighborhood for the rich and powerful, to the birthplace of violent gangs, and now a vibrant neighborhood under intense gentrification pressures. The final project imagines a new topography for MacArthur Park that will support the cultivation of a new forest.This course builds upon the skills acquired in ARCH 541a furthering the ability of students to think spatially and design at multiple scales. Students not only investigate physical conditions but also become familiar with the less tangible aspects of our urban environment – including but not limited to social, cultural, and economic issues – and how they effect the urban environment. Students develop their skills through a series of tasks that culminate in a comprehensive proposal for a strategic urban intervention.INTERSECTIONS: NATIVE & IMMIGRANT WAVESWAVES: THE TEMPORAL AND DYNAMIC IDENTITY OF URBAN FORESTSTHE 100 YEAR FOREST – TRANSITION FORESTLANDSCAPE AT THE INTERSECTION OF LIFE AND DEATHIn this semester-long design-research studio, we turn our attention downward, to the literal foundation of landscape – the soil. As physical material, soil refers to the thin layer of earth, composed by organic matter and organized into “horizons” – extending from the thin yet nutritious layer of “humus” at the top to the solid bedrock below. As an environmental system, soil is considered one of the most crucial elements of the climate, being the second largest store of carbon after the ocean. As living matter, soil is composed of billions of microbes and micro-organisms such as fungi, bacteria, protonza, nematodes, anthropods and earthworms – a symbiotic collective known as the soil biota. The biota plays a vital role in determining how well the ecosystems and the life that it supports function above grade. Spatially, soil is where “we have long placed that which we fear and wish to lose, and that which we love and wish to save,” in the words of the British writer, Robert Macfarlane. And temporally, soil is the visible evidence of a number of dynamic processes, including: additions, losses, transformations, and translocations – spanning timescales that are too long to seem comprehensible to the human. Beyond the sciences, subterranean lifeworlds have activated the social and literary imaginary across cultures and through time. And yet, all the while, our anthropocentric perspective and attitude towards soil, like that toward most landscape matter, continues to be largely productionist – focusing on its resource-value at the expense of all other relations.Situating the varied and layered dimensions of soil within the near-catastrophic environmental context projected for the next century, particularly the looming threat of mass extinction that threatens our more-than-human partners, this studio focuses on Soil Building Processes by rethinking the future of burial landscapes through mortuary composting procedures. Interrogating our position in our environmental future, we consider the types of future relationships that we might form with soil, putting in place acts of care that go beyond exploitative and instrumentally regimented stewardship. We consider how our bodies could facilitate this new form of co-existence, and how design could enable and accommodate this necessary exchange. Our collective efforts toward climate restoration require not just innovative technologies, but social and economic transformation – a shift in our thinking about the biophysical world and our role and responsibility in it. We tackle these challenges and more as we sift through the varied layers of soil – to ultimately address a more ethical way of living (and dying) in the ruins of what we have created.DAMNED EARTH, AWAKENED DUNESMEMORIAL EXTREMES: DESIGNING WITH FIRE + WATERCEMETERY ‘MOO’-SICOLOGIESMULTI-SPECIES SANCTUARIESTHE CIRCLE OF LIFE AND DEATHOPEN SOURCE CROSS LAMINATED TIMBERThe studio is framed around the study of cross-laminated timber (CLT) as one of the most innovative building materials available in the market. CLT has received appraisal as a material that profoundly engages with ecology and sustainable practices. Timber offers “the benefit of carbon sequestration, which is the capture of carbon, usually in the form of CO2, from the atmosphere, and it’s long storage, in order to mitigate global warming” (Jones, 2019). The commitment to sustainability and ecological awareness requires us not only to use a material such as CLT but also to look into its sourcing and the foresting practices associated with it. It is through sustainable foresting management where CLT really becomes an innovative proposition for the 21st century.The second area of interest for CLT has been its potential to drive automation and industrialized production. Companies such as Katerra have done substantial investments to develop production chains around the prefabrication of CLT modules that could define a flexible building system.This Integrated Technology studio will study and understand why the future of the architecture industry is projected to be linked to technologies such as CLT. The studio aims to provide an industry framework with a realistic project expectation, where each part of the building could be considered an opportunity for innovation and entrepreneurial discovery. Students are invited to think of themselves as entrepreneurs that are developing a building solution that will be demonstrated in their studio project.THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN NATURAL & URBAN ENVIRONMENTSCHAMELEON: URBAN CONTINUITY
