Alexander Webb is an Associate Professor of Emergent Technology at the School of Architecture and Planning, University of New Mexico, and director of the Predock Center for Design Research. Holding both a PhD in Digital Design Theory and a professional architectural license, his work bridges academic theory with practical applications to address Anthropocene challenges through computational design.

• PhD, Digital Design, European Graduate School
• Masters of Architecture, SCI-Arc
• Bachelors of Arts, Colorado College

His research explores Post-Anthropocentric Theory, Smart Cities & Buildings, and Computational Design & Sustainability, integrating AI, robotics, and urban analysis. Recent publications (2020) examine Big Data, Urban AI, and Robotic Ethics in architectural practice. Earlier works focus on Social Media Algorithms, Bio-Integrated Infrastructure, and Digital Simulation.

• Stamm Professor of Advanced Design and Construction (2020-2023)
• Adobe Innovators Award (2021)
• Henry Adams Certificate, SCI-Arc (2006)

Webb has advised students in projects like The Nest (2020), Virtual Epoch (2016), and [TRANS-]loci (2015). He collaborates with global institutions and practices, including Coop Himmelb(l)au and Gensler, and his installations (e.g., Wetware, Odd Photobooth) interrogate technology's role in human-environment interaction.
