This introduction to architectural drawing in the first term of Woodbury University’s graduate program, immersed students in line-weight, Descriptive Geometry, and shadow projection. The course began with a series of two-dimensional geometric relationships and moved into Descriptive Geometry, as a means of unfolding and stretching the two-dimensional relationships into three. These were then inflated through the student’s individualized methods of three-dimensional shadow projection. The intent of the work was to develop a rigorous, novel, and somewhat malleable method for moving between two-dimensional drawings and three-dimensional propositions.

Woodbury School of Architecture and the Julius Shulman Institute welcome Inside Marina City: A Project by Iker Gil and Andreas E. G. Larsson to the WUHO Gallery. For more than two years, Iker Gil and Andreas E. G. Larsson documented the lives of residents in the non-Euclidean geometries of architect Bertrand Goldberg’s iconic Marina City (1959-67) in Chicago.

paul CASTELLANOS: Whereas Mies van der Rohe’s Crown Hall, for instance, defined a columns structural integrity by the perception of continuity juxtaposed by discontinuous mullions, this project defines the structural character of the column by its orientation. Vertical elements transition into secondary elements and account for spatial variations, circulation, and lighting. The orientation of the columns subdivide the open plan into smaller spaces and renders enclosure as delusive.

henry CHEUNG: Machinic Veils is a machinic laboratory that assimilates into the “naturally-artificial” landscape of Owens Lake through the anticipation of the physical forces of its geographical location, toxic emissivity of dust, and the salt inundated landscape. These physical forces are simultaneously amplified, controlled, and directed through a series of six veils – ranging in function, porosity, and translucency.

mark ERICSON & john BROCKWAY: This visualization assignment asked students to examine California’s Owens Valley, through a minutely focused lens. Specifically each student was asked to develop their own form of monomania, drawing the territory by only drawing water.
