StratAA

Architecture Archive

The publication name, StratAA, is derived from stratum, a layer or series of layers of rock in the ground. The culmination of student work is a layering of knowledge, time, and labor. In order to progress our collective knowledge base we must acknowledge where we came from and learn from the archives stored in this publication. StratAA was originally formed by three undergraduate students in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic. Classes were instructed digitally, public gatherings were canceled, and a great distance formed between students. It was made clear that the value of sharing architectural works with peer through reviews was lessened by an online method of delivery. From this loss the architectural student archive was created, hoping to distribute and share a collection of student work that deserves to be seen

StratAA aims to disseminate/archive studio work in a cohesive publication highlighting the diverse talent across architectural courses, culminating in a physical and digital publication showcasing each individual project submitted. This collection serves as physical evidence of the labor and effort ontributed by all students in the Department of Architecture in their studies. All work within the publication was submitted on a volunteer basis. As the final members of the original publication team graduated, Mae Murphy and Cameron Wahlberg, a new team took on the challenge and adventure of Layer 2. The editorial team hopes this publication serves as an opportunity to highlight the expansive array of compelling student work that investigates and questions the world we live in.
