TEACHING FACADE TECTONICS AT THE USC SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

Kudos to our in-house Façade Geek and Partner Sanjeev Tankha on a successful spring semester teaching Advanced Surface Tectonics at USC.

This past spring Sanjeev and Mic Patterson as co-instructors pioneered a course in “Advanced Surface Tectonics: Methods in Materials and Enclosure” in the Masters of Architecture Program. The course was taught fully online to adapt to the pandemic to a group of talented students from USC M.Arch and M.Building Science programs, whose careers we are excited to see thrive in the near future. We were very impressed with their effort and their quality of work and look forward to having many of them back in the Fall. This once-a-week series of lectures covered facade performance and design and featured many guest speakers who appear in the Facade Tectonics video linked below. We are very proud of the course's success, and are excited about the next course in this series, Arch 572, being taught in person during the 2021 fall session!
