DIGITAL STRUCTURES

We are Digital Structures, a research group at MIT working at the interface of architecture, structural engineering, and computation. We focus on the synthetic integration of creative and technical goals in the design and fabrication of buildings, bridges, and other large-scale structures. We are particularly interested in how digital techniques and tools can play an unexpected, collaborative role in these processes. Led by Professor Caitlin Mueller, the group is based in MIT's Building Technology Program in the Department of Architecture, and also includes contributors from Civil and Environmental Engineering, and the Center for Computational Engineering... John Ochsendorf: I am mostly thinking about education and community. How do we help develop young minds to be creative problem solvers? And how do we create communities of learning so that we can fully develop our human potential? I am mostly working in the context of higher education, but these problems apply to industry and..
