Axel Kilian is a researcher in Computational Design and previously was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the MIT Department of Architecture, an Assistant Professor at the Princeton University School of Architecture, and at the Delft University of Technology and a Postdoctoral Associate at the Department of Architecture at MIT. He holds a PhD in Design and Computation and a Master of Science in Architectural Studies from the Department of Architecture at MIT. He initially came to MIT as a German American Fulbright scholarship grantee after completing a professional degree in architecture at the University of the Arts Berlin. His work in architectural robotics has been exhibited at the Istanbul Design Biennial and the Seoul Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism. His current research and teaching focus is on embodied computation, exploring the extension of architecture’s material form into the behavioral through physical, actuated, and sensing prototypes of space.
Embodied Computation
Kilian’s lecture will explore the extension of architecture’s material form into the behavioral through physical, actuated, and sensing prototypes of space.
