rat [LAB] - Research in Architecture & Technology

rat[LAB] - Research in Architecture & Technology, is an independent research organization and network of designers & researchers specializing in computational design or similar technology-related domains. rat[LAB] is operated as a cloud-based organization with an international network of researchers & computational designers spread across UK, USA, Europe & Asia. With a studio in New Delhi, India, the research cell functions as a global collaborative and multidisciplinary laboratory facilitating design research that leads to novel spatial tectonics and smart built environments. The research agendas broadly focus on use of computational design & parametric design in architecture, with intersections between design & technology spread across scales and disciplines. rat[LAB] offers collaborations to architecture and design firms to develop systemic models using advanced computational techniques and carry out project-specific or agenda-specific work in all fields of design. rat[LAB] provides consultancy services to architecture and design firms to facilitate them on projects by adding a new dimension of 'computation based research'​ supported by our global team of specialists from various disciplines. With data sharing and communication made easy in today's date through cloud networks, we are able to plug-in to your firm as consultants providing advanced computational skills to optimize your project workflow, carry out spatial and engineering analysis, as well as aiding in parametric design solutions.
