HOUSING: S,M,L,XL Symposium

Join Woodbury School of Architecture for our spring symposium, HOUSING: S,M,L,XL that addresses the challenges of building housing across scales. The housing symposium is free and open to the public.

HOUSING+ is a year-long program of lectures, exhibitions and studio inquiries focused on a topic that is of particular relevance to Los Angeles and Woodbury School of Architecture. We have invited our faculty and students to address the topic of housing in their courses during the 2019-20 academic year. As an institution of higher learning that integrates architecture, interior design, and real estate development programs, Woodbury School of Architecture believes that affordable housing is a critical architectural question and a basic human right.
