Students at the UCLA Department of Architecture and Urban Design are proposing a hypothetical center where principles of AEDI – anti-racism, equity, diversity, and inclusion – are put into action.

"I think what we're trying to do is a paradigm shift away from a distant, automated, estranging kind of environment where people are bureaucratized, into something way more engaging,” said Mohamed Sharif, the faculty member who is heading the design studio for the master of architecture program students.

In this episode, Sharif and several students talk about putting AEDI principles, as well as sustainability and accessibility, at the forefront of building design.
