61st ARCHITECTURAL GUILD AWARDS

USC School of Architecture is a premier global design school, a 21st century platform for excellence in instruction, research and creative production on global cities and ecologies, processes of urbanization and cultural heritage, and technologies, theories and histories about the built and natural environment. We are committed to exposing our students to the pressing contemporary issues that impact our local and global communities and encouraging our students and faculty to seek out courageous and multi-disciplinary responses. The USC School of Architecture will continue to lead by example, using design, architecture, and critical thinking to benefit the public good.

As we near the end of 2020, and as we gather together virtually to celebrate our 61st Annual USC Architectural Guild Awards, we are presented with an opportunity for critical reflection. The events of this year–a global pandemic, movements for racial justice and social equity, and economic disruptions–required that we all adapt to a changing world. The School responded, with dynamic virtual platforms for advancing our educational mission, and broader advocacy work such as our School's leadership in 3-D printing thousands of masks and face shields to provide backup PPE to local hospitals under the #OperationPPE program. Our USC Architectural Guild pivoted to create engaging online programming for students, including a virtual Explore! site visit, a virtual career fair, and the largest mentorship class in recent history, continuing their steadfast support of our students’ professional development. Our students, staff and faculty have found new ways to connect virtually to sustain social and emotional bonds.

Our 2020 USC Architectural Guild honorees also give us cause for celebration.

Our Distinguished Alumni Award recipients, Maria Warner Wong, ‘87, and

Wong Chiu Man, ‘88, based in Singapore and renowned for their sustainable and innovative projects, are our first pair and first international honorees for this annual award. Arthur Danielian, ’63, FAIA, a USC Architecture alumnus who built an immensely successful and longstanding practice in Orange County, is welldeserving of our second-annual Lifetime Achievement Award. Our Distinguished Business Leadership recipient, Wayne Ratkovich, has overseen countless development projects that seek to improve urban life for city-dwellers in Los Angeles and beyond. We are pleased to present our first-ever Citizen Architect Award to Zena Howard, FAIA, an award-winning practitioner known for culturally significant works that engage disenfranchised stakeholders, including the forthcoming Destination Crenshaw here in L.A. Together, they are an incredibly distinguished group of professionals that balance innovative thinking and design with social impact. We are excited to honor them and look forward to sharing more about their work and professional impact in this book and throughout our program tonight.

Thank you–to our honorees, alumni, Board of Councilors, friends, and the entire USC Architectural Guild community– for your partnership, support of our students, and understanding as we continue to navigate this challenging time. We are glad to celebrate with you virtually tonight, and hope to see you all in person as soon as it is safe to do so.

Fight on, Milton S. F. Curry Dean Della and Harry MacDonald Dean’s Chair in Architecture

61st ARCHITECTURAL GUILD AWARDS

Welcome and Good Evening!

On behalf of the Architectural Guild Board, thank you for supporting the 61st Annual USC Architectural Guild Awards program celebrating five remarkable individuals whose professional and personal lives are exemplary of the values of the USC School of Architecture.

Serving this year as the Architectural Guild’s president is a humbling honor as I am surrounded by such exceptional architects, developers, designers, contractors, and artists on the board and in the broader community. From the Guild’s earliest grassroots beginnings to its current powerhouse organization, we’ve never veered from our primary purpose to support student academic progression and career readiness.

The Guild provides perspectives and expertise into real challenges and current contexts for students beyond the classroom, influencing and inspiring a new generation of architects. We collaborate with one another, mentor our students, celebrate their creativity and excellence, and work hard to raise funds to support scholarships, professional development, internships, and career readiness training and opportunities.

In all of the architecture schools nationwide, the USC Architectural Guild stands alone in its auxiliary partnership and devoted legacy.

The Board is composed of alumni and non-alumni who come together to help architectural students find their way, gain traction, and become ready for career placement. Throughout our history and most immediately this year, our support adds up and delivers big results. With the challenges facing higher education and specifically the School of Architecture, our member firms adapted quickly to delivering support services in mentorship, career services, and engagement programs on virtual platforms and continued to fundraise through the past eight months.

Special thanks to our sponsors of this program who make our work ever more impactful. Proceeds from this evening will directly support undergraduate and graduate student scholarships. In these challenging, uncertain times, it is deeply heartwarming to know that your support remains steadfast for our students–now and always. Thank you.

We hope you enjoy the program and we look forward to a future occasion to be together in person again, soon.

Amanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. Her creative practice employs color as a way to draw attention to the complexities of how race shapes how we assign value to space in cities. The landscapes in which she operates are the visual residue of the invisible policies and forces that have misshapen most major US cities.

Williams’ installations, paintings and works on paper seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar and in the process, raise questions about the state of urban space and ownership in America.

Amanda has exhibited widely, including the MoMA (NY), the Venice Architecture Biennale, the MCA Chicago, and a public commission at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis. She recently won the commission to design a permanent monument to Shirley Chisholm in Brooklyn, NY. Amanda has been recognized as a Joan Mitchell Foundation grantee, a USA Ford Fellow, an Efroymson Arts Fellow and a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow.

Amanda is also a member of the Obama Presidential Center's Museum Design Team and sits on the boards of the Graham Foundation, Garfield Park Conservatory and Hyde Park Art Center. Her work is in several permanent collections including the Art Institute of Chicago and the MoMA (NY). Williams lives and works on the south side of Chicago.

USC ARCHITECTURE

22 Right: Nigeria Office Tower, Lagos, Nigeria

Over the course of his 55+ year career, Art Danielian has made his mark on the field of residential architecture. Not only has he achieved exemplary accomplishments within the profession, he has a demonstrated history of giving back to the homebuilding industry and providing mentoring to the next generation of architectural students and industry professionals.

Art grew up in Pasadena, California, and served in the U.S. Army before attending the USC School of Architecture. During his time at USC, he immersed himself in the field and worked for several prominent structural engineering and architecture firms. Two notable projects included the Apollo launching structure and the Space Needle. At the end of his third year, Art received a scholastic scholarship and caught the attention of Ed Fickett, AIA, one of the nation’s pioneers in master-planned residential communities who also served as head of the selection committee. Ed offered Art a part-time position and he eventually joined the firm full time upon graduation.

This is where Art got his start in residential design and ultimately found his passion.

After starting his own architectural firm, Art pioneered innovative residential housing concepts such as the wide and shallow lot configurations, combo/condos, and various improvements of the ‘z-lots,’ which had a substantial and positive impact on community character in master-planned communities throughout Orange County.

He also assisted with the Charter for the City of Irvine. After being honored with numerous awards within California and advanced to the College of Fellows of the AIA in 1982, Art expanded his services throughout the United States and then globally.

Art was one of the first architects to embrace a market-driven design model, working with each of his builder clients and market researchers to truly identify their market profiles to create homes with tremendous absorption rates that were well loved by their buyers. For nearly 20 years, he represented the AIA, led the architecture and design panels at the International Builders Show, and was a regular speaker at industry conferences and events. He has been honored with the Max C. Tipton Award, the Rodney Radom Memorial Award, and was the first architect to be inducted into the California Homebuilding Foundation Hall of Fame. In 2019, he was selected as a Legend of Residential Marketing by the National Association of Home Builders and the National Sales & Marketing Council.

His firm, Danielian Associates, will celebrate over 52 years in business this year.

The firm attributes its success to their market-driven design philosophy and international market presence. To date, the Danielian Associates Team has provided planning and architecture services to 44 states and 15 countries worldwide, creating well over one million units of housing. The diverse range of products Art and his team have designed include production housing, custom homes, multifamily housing, mixeduse, affordable housing, senior communities, clubhouses, transitional housing for US military veterans, master planned communities and much more.

Art continues to work full time, focusing primarily on international projects, while the firm is now under the leadership of his son, John Danielian, AIA.

Maria Warner Wong and Wong Chiu Man lead the international multidisciplinary consultancy firm WOW Architects | Warner Wong Design, providing design expertise in architecture, interior and landscape design. Their mission is to create spaces of extraordinary sensory experience rooted in culture memory and place.

Their passion for learning within a community of thought leaders is nurtured through activities in academia and professional forums where they are invited to speak and judge at leading international design events.

In the years since the firms were established in 2000, they have received multiple international design awards including the Singapore Institute of Architects building of the year, Prix Versailles, LEAF Awards, SBID Awards, AHEAD Awards.

Maria and Chiu Man have harnessed the diversity of their cultural roots, and used their passion for the environment to create a culture of excellence that influences the people of the firm both past and present, and a loyal following of clientele that continues to support them in their quest for a better world.

Their dedication to developing new design paradigms for sustainable design is matched by their commitment to education and craftsmanship that are culturally adaptive and technologically appropriate for the countries and economies where their projects are built.

Unabashedly modern and rooted in culture memory and place, the work of WOW is Chiu Man and Maria’s lifework. Their reverence of nature pervades each project.

In the work of WOW, the chronological and biographical progression and evolution of ideas are evident.

Maria and Chiu Man’s widely published projects include the multiple award-winning St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort; Vivanta by Taj – Whitefield in Bangalore; Mandala House in Bangalore, India; Bishopsgate and Chiltern Houses in Singapore; the Archifest Zero Waste Pavilion in Singapore; and the competition-winning design for the Mandai Eco-Resort in Singapore. Each project is characterized by deep research and design exploration that shape the office design culture, with projects that are experientially engaging and visually expressive, built on appropriate sustainability principles, a love of nature, thoughtful detailing, and sensory depth.

With maturity of thought and increasingly pressing ecological issues, their work presents programmatically innovative and climatically driven solutions that question and provoke. Research into new technologies and processes inform the design and construction methodologies, and their commitment to impactful and measurable results continues.

Chiu Man and Maria received their B.Arch from USC and M.Arch from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

WAYNE

RATKOVICH

USC ARCHITECTURE

54 Right: 5900 Wilshire, Los Angeles, California

Wayne Ratkovich sees things that others miss. A visionary who has given back many of the city’s lost treasures, Wayne started out as a real estate broker with Coldwell Banker–lucrative, but not his passion.

Everything changed in 1977 when he bought and restored the Oviatt Building in Downtown L.A., preserving a magnificent Art Deco building and luring people downtown by opening the Rex Ristorante in a former men’s haberdashery. This bold accomplishment, the first of many projects with Brenda Levin, AIA, launched Wayne’s commitment to profitably produce developments that improve the quality of urban life.

Wayne has an uncanny ability to reinvent, reimagine and revitalize critical landmarks, including a string of iconic and awardwinning restorations: Wiltern Theatre and the Pellissier Building; Fine Arts Building; Chapman Market; 5900 Wilshire; The Bloc, a 1.8 million square-foot, mixed-use property in downtown L.A.; The Alhambra, a 40-acre mixed-use urban community in the city of Alhambra; and The Hercules Campus at Playa Vista, with 11 landmark buildings including the Spruce Goose hangar, which recently opened as Google’s newest Southern California campus. The Ratkovich Company (TRC) is currently leading the development of West Harbor, the reinvention of former Ports O’Call, a 42-acre site located on the main channel of the busiest port in North America. This $150 million waterside destination is slated to give Los Angeles the world-class waterfront it deserves.

On a community level, Wayne has spent a lifetime giving back, with a special interest in education, arts and culture, homelessness,

healthcare and hospitals. TRC proudly supports the Urban Land Institute–– Wayne, one of 13 lifetime trustees, was recruited to the Global Board of Directors––and after co-chairing ULI’s national meeting in L.A., gathered a ULI Taskforce to study and tackle our city’s homeless challenge. Ratkovich has chaired nine national ULI panels focused on reinventing landmarks like Houston's Astrodome and Chicago’s Navy Pier.

The LA Conservancy was founded at the Oviatt as an effort to preserve more of our city’s history. Wayne is also a lifetime trustee of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. He is actively involved at his alma mater, University of California at Los Angeles, as well as his wife’s, the University of Southern California.

Art, entertainment and place-making are important to Ratkovich, who has guided the American Contemporary Ballet to making its home at several TRC projects.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Inner City Arts, and the Wende Museum Berlin Wall project are other civic efforts important to TRC. Wayne actively supports Homeboy Industries as a board member leading a vision for its future, the City of Hope and the Alhambra Educational Foundation, where he was raised. He is currently co-chairing a campaign to improve California Hospital Medical Center where his wife and their children were born. Wayne contributes to the city on many levels and puts his vision and finances to work to improve the quality of urban life.

Through her work with private and public institutions, Zena engages disenfranchised stakeholders, unites disparate parties, and infuses cultural meaning into all her projects. Her leadership embraces crossdisciplinary collaboration as an essential tool for success, integrating a broad range of experience and specialized knowledge such as urban design, public policy, history, economics, and anthropology into the architectural process.

Her current work includes the expansion of the Motown Museum in Detroit, Michigan, a project that commemorates the history and continuing legacy of Berry Gordy and Motown’s unique artists and internationally recognized sound. In Los Angeles, Zena is spearheading the effort to create a new Black monument and outdoor art and cultural experience on Crenshaw Boulevard, an iconic city street.

She is also lead principal for the City of

Vancouver Hogan’s Alley initiative and the City of Greenville’s Town Common Sycamore Hill project. Zena is helping these cities envision and create cultural destinations that will celebrate the history and context of formerly displaced communities. Her remembrance design™ work brings historical and cultural relevance to struggling downtowns, reignites connections between people, and resolves decades-old divides within communities.

Zena is a founding member of the Perkins&Will Global Diversity and Inclusion Council. By example and through direct action and mentoring, she is an advocate for diversity within the architecture profession, a field where minority and women professionals are historically under-represented.

USC Architecture is a dynamic platform for educating and inspiring citizen architects to analyze problems and create design solutions that both respond to the challenges of our time and embrace the promise of a better built environment. For 100 years, USC Architecture faculty and graduates have pushed beyond the traditional boundaries of the field to pioneer many paradigm shifting new practices of architecture. Deeply rooted in the city of Los Angeles and also intensely connected to global concerns, USC architects and scholars work shoulder to shoulder with our surrounding communities to develop, empower, and leverage local insight that enables them to become intelligent and intrepid practitioners and forge creative solutions.

The School’s legacy is defined by the value its faculty and graduates contribute to the future of the profession—and to our world. We synthesize learnings from research, the classroom, and the field to create a holistic and informed view on the discipline. We believe that great architecture, landscapes and cities find their most powerful expression through their impact on the persons who inhabit them and experience them, now and into the future.

ABOUT

USC ARCHITECTURE

USC ARCHITECTURE

61st ARCHITECTURAL GUILD AWARDS

Founded in 1958, the USC Architectural Guild provides guidance and insight into real-world experiences for students beyond the classroom. The Guild encourages their alumni and non-alumni members and peers – leaders in architecture, design, construction, engineering, finance, and real estate development – to give back and lead the way in career development and mentorship, scholarship and global fellowship support, and technology and material resources.

Through knowledge, networking, and know-how the Architectural Guild enriches and amplifies the USC education, inspiring architectural students to find purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in their pursuits.

Annually, the Guild raises funds and provides programs for students through activities such as the mentorship program, the Design Charrette, and Career Week. The latter offers professional development workshops and culminates in a Firm Fair where students network and explore opportunities for internships and jobs with top local and national firms.
