USC Shows Shulman Photos of Alumni-Designed Buildings

Call it the “trojan horse” of architectural exhibits.

The USC School of Architecture is exhibiting photographs of selected local buildings designed by some of its better-known alumni and photographed by Julius Shulman. Shulman has chronicled the architecture of Los Angeles for more than 50 years and has won dozens of awards for his work.

The list of the architecture school’s graduates reads like a “Who’s Who” of Los Angeles design, with names that include Albert C. Martin, Frank Gehry, Jon Jerde and MacDonald Becket.

The exhibit, which opened Saturday in Watt Hall’s Helen Lindhurst Architecture Gallery, is free and open to the public. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. next Saturday.
