The SUPRASTUDIO Summer Session exhibition showcases fourteen projects of the 2015-16 M.Arch II incoming students. The Technology Seminar - Robotic Cartography and the Studio -SCALE UP!, lead by Julia Koerner, investigate emergent technologies including 3D scanning, robotic video capturing and digital analysis of natural arte\ifacts on a micro and macro scale. Both literal and phenomenal investigation into natural systems and structures are part of the linked inductive courses. An exploration into various design mediums, biomimicry research and design morphologies are shown in the exhibition in form of additive manufactured morphologies and CNC fabricated scaled up topologies. Animations and videos showcase ideas for architectural and urban applications; a small-scale pavilion and a large-scale urban metabolism within an ideal city.

50 Years of Advancing Design, Technology, and Culture
During its 50-year history, UCLA Architecture and Urban Design has been an innovator in identifying what architects are taught. From the invention of 3D
computer programs;; to the integration of sustainability in a design curriculum; to the incorporation of large scale CNC robotics in a school of architecture in the world; the Department has critically defined the topics, curriculum, and knowledge necessary to keep its graduates relevant in a changing world. During
2015-16 we will celebrate our 50th year by honoring the Department’s faculty and their many innovations and accomplishments with a series of presentations and conversations.
