Upcoming Events
Thinking, learning, research, and design centered on the collaborative act of making . . .
LSU School of Architecture students develop a solid foundation of traditional design, hand building, and drawing skills and learn to use computer and technological resources. The architecture program at LSU provides a balance between broadening educational experiences and discipline-focused coursework. In addition to learning how to make buildings, students develop a sense of professionalism and leadership in shaping the world by learning how to see, think, and act creatively.

“I love that teaching architecture gives an opportunity for both student and teacher to think about the future of our built environment.”
Assistant Professor Annicia's Story
Annicia Streete
Assistant Professor
Annicia Streete is an assistant professor in the LSU School of Architecture. Annicia was born in Trinidad and Tobago, located in the southern Caribbean, and immigrated to the United States to pursue her education and career in the architecture profession. Her academic and professional background is multi-disciplinary, earning her Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Structures at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and a Master of Architecture at the University of Colorado Denver. This background has afforded her the opportunity to teach and practice across the architecture, construction, and engineering fields over the past fourteen years.
Q: What do you love about teaching architecture?
A: I love that teaching architecture gives an opportunity for both student and teacher, and I will add practitioner (as they continue to teach our students in practice), to think about the future of our built environment. Not as in becoming inundated with the issues of the built environment that the discipline must address, but it is an opportunity to carefully consider, imagine, act and realize the hopes of many as we consider making space for people to dwell, work, play etc. It is a wonderful challenge.
Q: What do you hope the students will learn?
A: Before learning anything specific in regarding theory of architecture, I hope students would first recognize the agency of architecture. The ability architecture has in affecting the daily lives of everyone on this planet. It is not just about designing “pretty” and “glamorous” buildings. Architecture is capable of so much more when done thoughtfully and responsibly. When we think of how we interact with the built environment, it is capable of improving the lives of many socially, historically and culturally to preface a few ways.
Q: Why are you interested in conducting research in Louisiana?
A: I am from Trinidad and Tobago, a twin island republic in the Southern Caribbean. As I have been learning about Louisiana over the last few years and more with my recent move, the overlaps I have been discovering between both places have been tremendous. From coastal environmental issues to historical issues of the built environment that have manifested and continue to manifest themselves to present day. Architecture is also a discipline that thrives on collaboration, it is in most cases better because of collaboration, so the opportunity to research, work and collaborate within the overlaps of both regions, and with academic entities within the university that are engaging in related studies is paramount and very exciting.
Q: Anything else you’d like to add?
A: I am passionate about architecture, my students, and the work that I do in this field. My contribution to architecture as an academic and previous practitioner is dear to me and I carry it with great commission. I am honored and thankful for this opportunity.
Designing the Future
See what our architecture students have been creating.
-
-
First-year design projects are intended to provide practice in ordering a design inquiry and structuring conceptual and visual arguments.
-
Second-year students explore the connection between architecture and context.
-
Third-year studios emphasize planning buildings while incorporating studies in the technologies of materials, structure, environmental controls, lighting, and acoustics.
-
Fourth-year students in Architectural Design VIII focused on high-rise urban housing in New York City and the interplays between the urban experience and the design of comfortable, marketable interior environments.
-
Fifth-year students focus on the comprehensive design of a single building, integrating material selection, mechanical, acoustical, structural, lighting, and 2D and 3D studies.
-
Graduate Design Studio I introduces students to the process of design through a series of exercises that asks them to engage the questions of the profession, first in isolation, then in combination, with each assignment adding new parameters or tasks to their current body of work.
Don’t just learn it, live it.
