Contribute as a Studio Instructor
About Studioplex
Studioplex connects students, faculty, and schools producing provocative architectural design work worldwide. Developed through UCLA’s Laboratory for Cross Cultural Studies at UCLA Architecture and Urban Design the site collects and displays architectural design projects of students created within a studio context and directed by an educator. Studioplex focuses on the studio context to enrich architectural discourse while expanding its production and communication to an international audience. Studioplex is an innovative forum for contemporary architecture in our shared global community. Studioplex provides a venue for ongoing global dialogue and propels the discipline forward.
How To Participate
Join Studioplex today. Registration is free. Faculty are invited to submit studios and students are invited to submit design projects created within a studio context. Studioplex is organized into four levels: Studios, Schools, Projects, and Exhibitions. Follow the steps below to participate in the Studios, School and Projects level.
Studios
Studios are invited to submit architectural design projects created within a studio context along with a 400 word or less description, including research, diagrams, and renderings. Note that any student who is a registered user of Studioplex may add projects to any studio; we therefore provide instructors with a report of recent activity in your studios and display it when you log in.
Faculty follow these steps:
- Create an account at http://studioplex.org/user/register
- Log in to studioplex.org. Click on the “Contact us” link under the “Are you a studio instructor?” heading to request an instructor account. Once we have verified that you are an instructor then proceed to the next steps.
- Add your studio, title, and description.
- Invite your students to upload their work.
Schools
Schools are invited to present their approaches to architectural education as well as design and urban research on Studioplex by featuring the studio projects of their faculty and students. Interested schools should identify a faculty member who can act as the School Studioplex representative. Your Studioplex rep will be our contact and will help to recruit submissions on behalf of your school.
Exhibitions
Semi-annual exhibitions will be organized by distinguished curators or scholars to present emerging areas of contemporary design research. Curators will use Studioplex content from studios and projects as material for these exhibitions.
