Together, we can build a brighter future by supporting the next generation of designers, architects, and urban visionaries.
At UCLA Architecture and Urban Design, we bring a high level of rigor to shaping the future of design and spatial practices. Our students and faculty experiment fearlessly–with new materials, new methods of making, and new ways of thinking. This defines who we are.
