RECOLLECTIVE JOURNEY THROUGH COMRADERY
eunoia
eunoia
[you-noy-uh] - Greek
(n.) “Beautiful Thinking”
Washington State University eunoia publishes an annual issue
showcasing some of the work done by our School of Design +
Construction 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 WSU.
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 +
Construction. We hope to inspire others to continue generating
designs that will influence the future of generations to come.

The School of Design + Construction at Washington State University continues
to morph into an ever-changing architectural norm, recalibrating from year to
year as the students remain a nonfluctuating constant. As the halls of Carpenter,
Daggy, and Dana slowly became more flourished with life throughout the year, the
experiences that were gained during the COVID-19 phase molded one another into
the way design and construction are tackled and viewed. Although the beginning
of the year continued as a virtual experience, the gentle shifts toward in-person
learning at the end of the year demonstrated the tenacity and adaptability amongst
the students, faculty, and staff at WSU, as it is reflected through the various awardwinning
projects.
Projects showcased in this issue of eunoia understand the inevitable changes of
the future and take into consideration the present-time of what can be done today
based on the surrounding events in our lives. These various projects adapt to the
areas of change in the world of design and construction based on the comparison
of experiences during the different phases of COVID-19 effects throughout the year.
WSU students, faculty, and saff continue to stand in solidarity through the strength
of comradery based on understanding one another in the workplace through a
support system. Although change is always to be expected in the near future,
effective collaboration with one another, through the power of community, creates
a greater importance in enduring the change together as a whole.
We are eager to shift into another new year with eagerness in designing for a better
tomorrow. 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
