Dana Cuff holds her primary appointment in the Department of Architecture and a joint appointment in Urban Planning at UCLA. She is the founding director of cityLAB, a research center at UCLA that explores the challenges facing the 21st century metropolis through design and research. At cityLAB, Cuff brings a vital discourse to UCLA about contemporary urban design along with a series of design-research projects that engage both students and faculty. Through cityLAB, Cuff has expanded her studies of infrastructure, postsuburban Los Angeles, and new formulations of green design, most recently through funded research about the urban design implications of proposed high speed rail. Dr. Cuff teaches various courses related to the profession of architecture as well as special seminars on cultural issues, architectural theory, and urbanism. Cuff's work focuses on urban design, affordable housing, modernism, urban sensing technologies, and the politics of place. She publishes and lectures widely on these topics, including the books Fast Forward Urbanism (edited with Roger Sherman, Princeton Architectural 2011) and The Provisional City and Architecture: The Story of Practice (MIT 2000), a project supported by both the Getty and the National Endowment for the Arts.

She received her Ph.D. in Architecture from UC Berkeley and her B.A., Psychology and Design UC Santa Cruz, and has been awarded the 2004 Lise Meitner Endowed Chair at Lund University in Sweden and the 2004-2006 Fellow of the Ziman Center for Real Estate at UCLA.
