I studied architecture at Pratt Institute in New York City and architecture theory in London , where I graduated from the Architectural Association . Since then , I ’ ve been an active member of the academic community as an Associate Professor at The Bartlett School of Architecture , UCL , where I have co-directed the award-winning AUAR Labs , which won Architect Journal ’ s Social Sustainability Award in 2021 . I have also been a visiting professor at the Cluster for Excellence Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture at the University of Stuttgart and was a faculty member at the AA School of Architecture . As an author , I co-wrote “ Robotic Building : Architecture in the Age of Automation ” ( Detail Edition 2019 ) and authored the SPACE10 report “ The Digital in Architecture : Then , Now and in the Future ” ( 2019 ).
Automated Architecture ( AUAR ) was founded in 2019 with my co-founder Gilles Retsin after we worked together for over a decade researching how robotics , generative design , and AI could radically transform the way we build so we can change how we live .
