The Current State of LA's Architecture Student Publications
On this episode of Archinect Sessions we\u2019re sharing the recording of a panel discussion I moderated last weekend at the\xa0A+D Museum\u200b, as part of the current exhibition\xa0The Los Angeles Schools\u200b. The panel brought together five students and three faculty members representing student-led publications from LA\u2019s architecture programs. Rayne Laborde and Phoebe Webster represented\xa0UCLA\u200b's\xa0POOL\u200b\u200b\u200b; Marcelyn Gow represented\xa0SCI-Arc\u200b\u2019s\xa0Offramp\u200b; Richard Mapes, Corie Yaguchi and Irvin Shaifa represented\xa0SCI-Arc\u200b's\xa0Underscore\u200b;\xa0Alvin Huang\u200b\xa0represented\xa0USC\u200b\u2019s\xa0Supertall\u200b; and\xa0Stephen Phillips\u200b, Cal Poly LA Metro\u2019s Director, represented their program\u2019s hardcover publication\xa0LA Ten\u200b.\xa0
Our talk covers a lot of ground, exposing the inner-workings of editing and producing publications in today\u2019s unique and highly transformative media landscape. Our conversations cover issues of editorial decision-making, design, freedom of expression and thoughts on the future of student publishing in architecture school.\xa0\xa0
