Join us for AUD60: Celebrating 60 Years of UCLA Architecture and Urban Design
As UCLA AUD celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2026, we honor the legacy of our alumni, students, faculty, and collaborators—the buildings and communities we've shaped, the innovations and policies we've pioneered, and the knowledge we've created. We also look forward with ambition and purpose, ready to design for a city and world in constant flux. AUD60 is also a celebration of Los Angeles—a city whose pioneering architecture and innovation inspire the world. What we create here echoes globally, and UCLA AUD is committed to advancing ideas that shape both our city and our world.
From January through June 2026, AUD offers a series of public programs that honor and reflect on our institution’s rich legacy. Join us!
