Dana Cuff, professor of urban planning and architecture and urban design, will deliver the 135th UCLA Faculty Research Lecture, focusing on architecture’s limits and potential in fulfilling promises of sustainability and equity. Cuff will explore the democratization of good design, demonstrating that small acts of research-based architecture can create powerful new forms of buildings and cities.
Cuff is director of UCLA’s cityLAB and founder and director of UCLA’s Urban Humanities Initiative, a collaboration of the School of the Arts and Architecture, the Luskin School of Public Affairs and the UCLA College Humanities Division.
Her lecture will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Ananya Roy, professor of urban planning, social welfare and geography and director of the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy.
