The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) is a private, non-profit university located in Los Angeles, California. It was founded in 1972 by a group of architects, educators, and students who believed that architecture should be a public concern and not just the province of the elite.
SCI-Arc is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board and offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in architecture. The school has a reputation for being experimental and innovative, and its graduates have gone on to become leaders in the field of architecture.
SCI-Arc is located in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles, and its campus is a converted warehouse that is itself an architectural landmark. The school has a strong commitment to public outreach and engagement, and its facilities are open to the public for tours, lectures, and other events.
SCI-Arc is widely regarded as one of the top architecture schools in the world, and its graduates are in high demand by leading architectural firms. The school has produced many notable alumni, including Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne.
