Design, Tech, and Materiality with Saurabh Mhatre | B.L. Speaker Series #13

What if we could achieve sustainability through blending design and science?

Transdisciplinary design combines the knowledge, methods, and tools from various disciplines to create novel products, spaces, and processes. It is a collaborative approach that is extremely vital to solving complex problems, giving rise to disruptive opportunities.

We are thrilled to welcome Saurabh Mhatre, creative technologist and architectural designer, whose innovative work spans across various domains, including product design, engineering and material science. He has worked on transdisciplinary projects dealing with the 3d printing of ceramic and concrete, deployable mechanisms, smart materials, and folding robots in collaboration with the Harvard School of Engineering, Wyss Institute of Biological Engineering, and the Autodesk Build Space.



Saurabh’s presentation will emphasize the role of interdisciplinary collaboration through his various novel projects.

Specifically, it will highlight:

Deployable Structures: efficient and cost effective forms which can be manufactured in a flat 2D state but can also be morphed into 3 dimensional structures. These forms can be designed minimalistically with fewer moving parts and simple hardware. The principles of origami and kirigami can be applied to fold unconventional materials.

Ceramic 3d printing: a sustainable way of scaling up additive manufacturing, especially in the context of architecture. This process is beneficial as it involves collaboration between multiple professionals; including designers, engineers, roboticists, material scientists, and more.

About the Speaker:

Saurabh Mhatre is a creative technologist and an architectural designer from India. He is currently a senior research associate in the Material Processes and Systems Group (MaP+S) and the Center for Green Buildings and Cities (CGBC) at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD). The Material Processes and Systems (MaP+S) Group, led by Professor Martin Bechthold, is a research unit that takes materials as a starting point for a broad set of research investigations that involve computation, robotics, and material science. The Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities led by Professor Ali Malkawi, promotes holistic change within the built environment, through the creation and continued improvement of sustainable, high-performance buildings and cities.



Saurabh has a Masters in Design Technology from the GSD, where his dissertation was titled “Embedded Materiality: Super Absorbent Polymers in Architecture and received a Bachelor of Architecture from BSSA, NMIMS University in Mumbai. He has worked on transdisciplinary projects dealing with the 3d printing of ceramic and concrete, deployable mechanisms, smart materials and folding robots in collaboration with Harvard School of Engineering, Wyss Institute of Biological Engineering and the Autodesk Build Space. He loves all things that bridge the realm of the physical and the digital through technology and in his spare time loves to do photography, digital art and VJing.
