Generative Research in Innovative Technologies (GRIT) Laboratory

GRIT Lab

Research includes the development of architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) design, decision-making, and optimization processes and fabrication technologies for exploring, assessing, and generating design spaces for the smart built environment. The Generative Research in Innovative Technologies (GRIT) Lab is made up of a highly motivated group that contributes to the development of approaches for sustainable and resilient infrastructure informed by modern and smart technologies, such as advanced manufacturing and artificial intelligence, as well as materials. The GRIT Lab’s goal is to enable the academic-industrial AEC community to explore new, vast and more complex design spaces, to seek out and realize creative and novel concepts, allowing designers to boldly go where no one has gone before.
