ABOUT USC SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE Milton S. F. Curry Dean, Della and Harry MacDonald Dean’s Chair Students 750 Faculty 100 Established in 1919, the USC School of Architecture capitalizes on the synergy created by its location and its activity. As an academic cultural institution in South Los Angeles, its impact reaches Latin America and the Pacific Rim and engages local citizenry on issues that affect their own environment, community and well-being. Throughout its activity on campus and off, USC Architecture promotes a greater understanding of space, the city and urbanization as part of an ethical and philanthropic vision. Our impact is shaped by the courage of our faculty to pose difficult questions, engage in robust debate, and integrate interdisciplinary thinking into their pedagogies. We're redefining the agency of architect to include citizen, influencer of public policy, and advocate for change.
“Our school—an academic-cultural institution—must give voice to epistemological horizons of our students and faculty that are not bounded by the perceptions of the architect as removed from the broader public. Architects are citizens too. They are pillars of communities, advocates for the sensitive design of public space and urban infrastructure, and tireless advocates of better design for the 99 percent.” – Milton S. F. Curry, Dean, Della & Harry MacDonald Dean’s Chair in Architecture
