Keith Green

Keith Evan Green is a full professor at Cornell University in the Department of Design + Environmental Analysis and in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Green's Architectural Robotics Lab (ARL) investigates a new frontier in human-machine interaction: meticulously designed, increasingly intelligent, cyber-physical environments that support and augment us at work, school, and home, as we roam, interconnect, and age. In architectural robotics, computation is embedded in the physical fabric of our living environments, manifested mostly as robotic devices, furniture and rooms. Broadly, the ARL generates new vocabularies of design and new understanding of human-machine interaction in the spatial realm. Green’s book Architectural Robotics: Ecosystems of Bits, Bytes and Biology (MIT Press) defines this emerging field at the interface of design, robotics, and psychology. A registered architect, Green earned B.A., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
