معرفی
Daniel Tish is a Lecturer in Architecture at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design (GSD), holding a joint Postdoctoral Fellowship between the Materials Processes and Systems (MaP+S) group and the Lewis Lab in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His research focuses on carbon-negative biocomposites derived from microorganisms, robotic fabrication, and circular economy solutions to reduce architecture's carbon footprint. Supported by the Salata Institute, Center for Green Buildings and Cities, and Joint Center for Housing Studies, his work bridges material science, biology, and design.
Education includes a Doctor of Design from GSD, a Master of Architecture (Distinction) from the University of Michigan, and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis with a self-designed Sustainable Design major.
Research interests emphasize bespoke materiality, digital fabrication, sustainability, and computation. He investigates biomaterial fabrication methods that address unpredictability in materials, aligning with cyber-physical systems research. His work challenges industrialized materials in digital fabrication and promotes eco-conscious technologies.
Publications appear in ACADIA, Fabricate, Rob|Arch, IASS conferences, and journals like Construction Robotics and TAD. Exhibitions include Design Miami/ Basel. He previously taught at the University of Michigan and University of Technology Sydney, and led Autodesk's computer-vision research for construction robotics.
Grants include Salata Institute funding for biocomposite research and Lewis Lab collaborations. His courses include 'BioFabrication' (Spring 2025) at GSD.
