Architect's Newspaper Features WUHO's Janna Ireland Show

There is Only One Paul R. Williams was recently featured on Architect’s Newspaper through an article by Antonio Pacheco. The exhibition of photographs by up-and-coming Los Angeles based photographer, Janna Ireland, takes a new look at the built legacy of the prolific yet under-appreciated African-American architect, Paul R. Williams.

The exhibition will be headed to the Sister Cities Offices in DTLA after its closing at WUHO.

In an intimate and powerful contemplation of a range of Williams’ southern California projects, Ireland’s images provide access to the narratives latent to the creations of a long overlooked genius. Framed exhibition works, as well as a limited run of photographic prints, are available for purchase. Proceeds benefit the Julius Shulman Institute at Woodbury University – making ongoing support for developing new talents in architectural photography possible.

About WUHO

Located on the iconic Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame, the Woodbury University Hollywood gallery (WUHO) provides a welcoming space for multi-disciplinary, boundary-crossing collaboration that supports the study and practice of the design disciplines. WUHO is committed to hosting exhibitions that reposition important voices in architecture and design often overlooked by mainstream sources. In a city that notably does not have a permanent architecture collection in any of its major museums, WUHO provides a venue for emerging designers who would not otherwise have an opportunity to publicly display work. Woodbury University has occupied this 7500 square foot storefront and studio space since 1995 and provides free gallery programming throughout the year. The facility is shared with the Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design.
