Ramon Weber

Ramon Weber is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, where he investigates computational design methods and simulation tools for sustainable architecture with emphasis on embodied carbon reduction. His work bridges architectural design, structural engineering, and environmental science to develop low-carbon building frameworks.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Architecture – Building Technology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
• MSc (with distinction) in Integrative Technologies and Architectural Design Research from the University of Stuttgart
• MS in Media Arts and Sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
• BSc in Architecture from ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology)

Dr. Weber's research integrates computational design, structural modeling, and generative systems to optimize building sustainability. He develops automation tools for carbon-efficient design processes, focusing on material efficiency, space utilization, and renewable energy integration while maintaining structural integrity and architectural quality.

His publication record (2019-2024) reveals a consistent trajectory toward decarbonizing construction through computational methods. Key themes include robotic timber fabrication, solar-integrated building systems, embodied carbon estimation algorithms, and spatial optimization techniques—all demonstrating cross-disciplinary innovation between architecture, engineering, and environmental science.

Scientific recognition includes:

• MIT Presidential Fellowship
• Scholar of the Norman Foster Foundation and the Rolex Institute, Madrid, Spain
