Mediated Intelligence in Design

MInD Lab is a practice-based research group based in the School of Architecture and Built Environment at Deakin University, located in Geelong – UNESCO designated City of Design. 

We operate at the intersection of Built environment, Information Technology and Design Innovation. We explore the potential of Information Technology, Intelligent data, computation and digital media to create more agile and adaptive solutions for socially, environmentally and economically viable built environment.

Our work advocates the use of “design thinking” and “system thinking” as a methodology for knowledge production (in research and education), and “trans-disciplinary thinking” as a strategy for cross-sector innovation (for the industry).

We strongly believe that Built Environment research cannot be separated from industry or education and the three must come together for the benefit and ultimate progress of our discipline.
