Rumble 2023 is UCLA Architecture and Urban Design’s (AUD) annual exhibition of student work. Now in its 15th installment, the show transforms AUD’s final reviews into an interactive installation and celebration, in which Perloff Hall becomes a stage and incubator for design dialogue and inquiry. Marking the culmination of AUD’s academic year, Rumble is a series of portals. Final reviews uniquely concentrate and frame the AUD community’s design preoccupations, while also representing a threshold between present work and future opportunity for its students–especially those who are graduating.

The juxtaposition –physical and intellectual – of AUD’s creative production frames the Department’s broader interest in cross-pollination across disciplines, curiosities, and experiences. Across multiple events and platforms, faculty and students engage the broader architecture and urban design communities in conversations about the future of design and the built environment.
