Ramon Weber

Ramon Weber is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture at UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design. In his research he is investigating how computational design methods and simulation tools can create more sustainable architecture. He combines a background in computation and building science research with a background in architecture and design. He defended his PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Building Technology, where he created generative design and spatial analysis tools for buildings. At MIT he was conducting research at the Digital Structures Group and the Sustainable Design Lab. His personal and professional work has been published and presented internationally in both scientific and design venues such as the Journal Solar Energy, Building and Environment, Automation in Construction, 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, ACADIA, SF MoMA, the Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial and Ars Electronica.

He graduated with a Master of Science in Media Arts and Science from the MIT Media Lab where he was part of the Mediated Matter Group as a Research Assistant. Previously, he received his master’s degree in Integrative Technologies and Architectural Design Research with distinction from the University of Stuttgart and holds a bachelor’s in architecture from ETH Zurich. He worked on architectural projects across scales at Zaha Hadid Architects and their inhouse ZHA|CODE research group in London.
