Focusing on these four designers as individuals and collaborators, this early career “retrospective” exhibition was conceived of and curated by Hadrian Predock, Director of Undergraduate Programs at the USC School of Architecture.

“It is unusual and seemingly contradictory to look at young practices through a retrospective lens, but it is often from formative, murky and truly experimental origins that the stuff of the slowly solidifying practice emerges,” says Predock. “In the case of three of these designers, the USC School of Architecture served as a seminal environment for each to develop their pedagogical positions and to begin testing out formative ideas.”
