Collective Form: The Status of Public Architecture

Dana Cuff is Professor of Architecture, Urban Design and Urban Planning at UCLA where she is also director of cityLAB, an urban design and research think tank. Her work focuses on affordable housing, modernism, suburban studies, the politics of place, and the spatial implications of new computer technologies. Cuff’s research on postwar urbanism was published in a book titled The Provisional City (MIT Press, 2000), and she recently edited Fast Forward Urbanism with Roger Sherman (Princeton Architectural Press, 2011). Since founding cityLAB in 2006, she has concentrated her efforts around issues of the emerging metropolis.
