Architect, engineer, inventor, educator, activist & professor: Carlo is a bit of everything. And he’s pretty good at it too! Not only has he been included in Blueprint Magazine’s ‘25 People who will Change the World of Design’ & in Wired Magazine’s ‘Smart List: 50 people who will change the world’, his work has been at display around the globe & he has received praise in many publications. Currently serving as co-chair of the World Economic Forum Global Council on the Future of Cities and Urbanization, he is the right man in the right place.

Carlo runs his own international design & innovation office, Carlo Ratti Ossociati, based in Torino, with branches in New York & London. & as a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he directs the MIT Senseable City Lab, a research group that explores how new technologies are changing the way we understand, design & ultimately live in cities. Drawing on Carlo’s research at the Senseable City Lab, his office is currently involved in many projects across the  globe, embracing every scale of intervention – from furniture to urban planning. 

In his quest for architecture that “senses and responds” to contemporary urban life, Carlo merges impressive design with cutting-edge digital technologies. It’s his kind of inventive approach that creates our future cities.
