Larry Sass is a Professor and Chair of the Computation Group at the Department of Architecture at MIT. He is a pioneer in the field of design and digital fabrication, particularly in the realm of low-cost housing. His work has led to the discovery of a low-cost method for single-family home construction that utilizes digital fabrication techniques. Larry's research has a substantial impact on production knowledge associated with computationally based wood-framed home construction. His concept of computation emphasizes learning through geometric decomposition of 3D forms, with a focus on modular, Lego-like digital elements that are ready for 3D printing and CNC manufacturing. He published his ideas on geometric decomposition for wooden housing in 2006 and exhibited these concepts at a MoMA exhibition, showcasing principal methods for constructing buildings digitally. Larry has also developed scalable software operations for large-scale fabrication, co-founding LuBan3D, a software system that applies key principles of object scaling and geometric decomposition. His current research interests include the expansion of digital fabrication and the discovery of new AI robotic systems to enhance home production capabilities using computers.
