Andrew John Wit

Andrew John Wit is an Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture at Temple University's Tyler School of Art and Architecture, where he leads research on novel building systems through composites, robotics, and emerging digital tools.

His educational background includes:

• Master of Architecture (MArch) from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2009)
• Bachelor of Science in Architecture (BSArch) from The University of Texas at San Antonio (2005)

Professor Wit's research focuses on Architectural Robotics and Robotic Architecture, investigating how digital fabrication and material innovation create adaptive building systems. His work bridges experimental design with industrial applications through composites and robotic production.

His 2016-2023 publications reveal trends in AI integration, material imprecision, and ethical environmental design, exemplified by projects like Cloud Magnet and Underwood Pavilion that merge responsive architecture with sustainability.

Major recognitions include:

• The Architects Newspaper's favorite tech book of 2018 for Towards a Robotic Architecture
• 2007 AIA Best of Practice Award for UTenSAils
• 2007 Industrial Fabrics Association International Outstanding Achievement Award
