The Situated Computation + Design Lab
The Situated Computation + Design Lab (Sit.Co.De) is an interdisciplinary research lab that invents new design expressions, practices, technologies, and methodologies. Our lab is at the intersection of the Sciences, design, engineering, art, and architecture. We investigate design and its intersections with society, bringing together multiple disciplines and perspectives to answer critical questions, and develop critical tools, processes, and theories. The Lab is led by Vernelle A. A. Noel, Ph.D.
Situated Computation is an approach to computational design that grounds technologies in the social world by acknowledging the historical, cultural, and material contexts of designing and making. It acknowledges and responds to a setting’s social and technological infrastructures, and refuses to remain ignorant of economic and political structures that shape it.
