Andrew Witt is an architect researching the relationship of geometry, data, AI, and machines to design and culture. Trained in both architecture and mathematics, he has a particular interest in a technically synthetic and logically rigorous approach to form.
Witt is an associate professor in practice at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and is also co-founder, with Tobias Nolte, of Certain Measures, a Boston/Berlin-based studio that combines design and data for systemic and scalable approaches to spatial problems. The work of Certain Measures is in the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou, and has been exhibited at the Pompidou, the Barbican Centre, the Museum of the Future, and the Canadian Centre for Architecture, among others. Work by Certain Measures was recently shown at Le Fresnoy in Lille, France, and will be on new permanent display in the Museum of the Future in Dubai in 2025.
At MacDowell in 2018, Witt refined text for a book on the historical and cultural relationship between design and mathematics. The book is an account of how experimental architects and research groups have learned to draw the waking dreams of science by engaging with scientific and mathematical imagery and methods in the development of their own "design science" methods.
During his 2025 residency, he completed the text for a scholarly work on a history and theory that houses that come to life — through myth, biology, machines, and artificial intelligence.
