Research Description

Ramon Weber in an Assistant Professor of Architecture in the College of Environmental Design.  He investigates how computational design methods and simulation tools can create more sustainable architecture. He completed his PhD at MIT in Building Technology, where he developed frameworks and automation tools for the design and analysis of low-carbon buildings. He is a graduate from ETH Zurich, the University of Stuttgart, and MIT’s Media Lab where he was a researcher at the Mediated Matter Group. He previously worked for Zaha Hadid Architects in London, and he was involved in projects across scales at the ZHA|CODE research group. His personal and professional work has been published and presented internationally in both scientific and design venues such as SFMOMA, the Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial in New York, and Ars Electronica, as well as the Journals Nature Communications, Solar Energy, Building and Environment, 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, and ACADIA.
