1x2 Sessions

The 1x2 design program was created by the staff at WSA Studio as a continuing education opportunity, a chance to share design thoughts and ideas, as well as foster the rich studio environment of WSA. The program is staff organized and opperated with events held once every two weeks. A one hour time frame enables focus on a single different topic each session. Through the different formats of guest speakers, consultant presentations, building product introductions, research projects, design charettes, computer program tutorials, business management presentations, and examples of current work around the world the studio's discussion of design and architecture and enriched the design of our projects.
