Responsive Architecture Design is premised on the notion that every building or landscape component can be equipped with computational power. Responsive Architecture Design research is supported by the School’s RAD-UM lab, which provides resources and expertise for project-based research on the spatial ramifications of embedded technology and ubiquitous computing. Projects at RAD-UM are set up for multi-disciplinary collaboration and for partnerships with industry.

Former Assistant Professor Juhong Park introduced the Design Machine Learning Lab to the School of Architecture in 2014, building on his previous research on Human-Machine-Collaboration as a vehicle to expand the horizon of human capability. The DML was initiated to support the School’s Master of Science in Architecture program. Also in 2014, Dean Rodolphe el-Khoury inaugurated the RAD-UM lab, formerly located at the John H Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape & Design at the University of Toronto, to the School of Architecture.
