Andrew Witt is a architect researching the relationship of geometry, data, AI, and machines to design and culture. Trained in both architecture and mathematics, he has a particular interest in a technically synthetic and logically rigorous approach to form. He is an Associate Professor in Practice at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and is also co-founder, with Tobias Nolte, of Certain Measures, a Boston/Berlin-based studio that combines design and data for systemic and scalable approaches to spatial problems. The work of Certain Measures is in the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou, and has been exhibited at the Pompidou, the Barbican Centre, the Museum of the Future, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, among others.
At MacDowell, Witt refined a book text on the historical and cultural relationship between design and mathematics. The book is an account of how experimental architects and research groups have learned to draw the waking dreams of science by engaging with scientific and mathematical imagery and methods in the development of their own "design science" methods.
