SUCCESS THROUGH SOLIDARITY

eunoia
[yoo-noy-uh] - Greek
(n.) “Beautiful Thinking”
WSU Eunoia publishes an annual issue showcasing some
of the work done by our SDC students, faculty, and staff.
Beautiful thinking and work are promoted in the magazine
for educational purposes, as well as encouraging a safe,
competitive area at Washington State University.
Our goal is to distribute the Eunoia Magazines to a variety
of firms and schools to provide an opportunity to experience
projects that were created from the WSU School of Design
and Construction. We hope to inspire others to continue
generating designs that will influence the future of generations
to come.

As the school of design and construction at Washington State University
morphs into an ever-changing architectural norm and recalibrates from year
to year, we the students are a nonfluctuating constant. However, this past
year has shifted the minds of many in the flow of the way we think about design
and construction. Due to the effects of COVID-19, social injustice(s), and
other events that impacted the world, the once restless halls of Carpenter and
Daggy became stagnant as existence was heavily present in a more virtual
approach. Despite the drastic modifications made throughout the year,
the students, faculty, and staff at Washington State University maintained
their adaptability, as it is reflected through the award-winning projects.
Projects showcased in this issue of eunoia take into consideration the inevitable
changes toward the future. These various projects react and adapt to exterior
stimuli as the presence of people mold the design of structures the same
way structures have the power to mold the people. WSU students, faculty,
and staff stand in solidarity based on the understanding and importance of
leadership, collaboration, and comradery in the workplace. As problems
may arise in the near future, support from one another is critical to endure
these transformations to establish a culture amongst a diverse community.
Compared to last year, we are shifting into another new world brimming
with advancements from recent events. We plan on continuing this journey
of eunoia to form a collection of work reflecting the culture within the WSU
SDC community. We applaud the WSU students, faculty, and staff for their
patience and dedication this past school year. We hope you enjoy this new
issue and stay tuned for future additions.
Yours,
The eunoia team
