MATCOM lab is a design research laboratory at the University of Cincinnati dedicated to advancing architectural innovation through material design, computational methods, and construction assemblies. Research outcomes leverage inherent material characteristics to reimagine material life cycles and develop innovative construction techniques that promote more sustainable and efficient building solutions. By challenging architectural biases and exploring new design outcomes, the lab pushes the boundaries of conventional practices to uncover novel possibilities. Through industry collaboration and interdisciplinary experimentation, MATCOM lab cultivates forward-thinking strategies that enhance the performance and resilience of the built environment.
