The USC Architectural Guild Charrette is a rigorous, juried design competition that invites fourth-year, fifth-year and graduate students to compete in a week-long charrette. The competition was developed as a way to put the students’ classroom skills to the test and help them develop the tools necessary to articulate concepts during client meetings.

The USC School of Architecture (USCA) Research Symposium provided an opportunity for architects, artists, community organizers, landscape architects, designers, technologists, planners, historians, and critics to share innovative solutions that advance racial justice, equity, diversity, and wellness in the built environment
