The Northridge Earthquake in 1994 caused extensive structural damage to the UCLA Center for Health Sciences, leaving por-tions in need of replacement. The University seized the opportunity to create the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, a medical facility designed to meet the evolving needs of 21st-century patient care, new medical technologies and teaching.
The medical center’s design was driven by the desire to scale the building exterior to the greater UCLA campus and maximize the amount of natural lighting. |

ISSUE
We already are the witnesses to some facts, which are occurring in our time:
1. Some states are giving more subsidies for crop-production which are essential to bio-fuel production, than they are subsidizing farming, crop-production and growing edible plants.
There are many appeals from United Nations which are pointing out the problem of food shortages and food production for poor countries.
In addition, the EU is also conditioning their members to use 5-10% of bio-fuel in transportation.
So, what is really happening really happening is that more and more of agricultural areas are used for crop-production for bio-fuels instead of using those areas to grow - food.
