Carlo Ratti, founder of the MIT Senseable City Lab and Carlo Ratti Associati, is shaping the creative future of housing design. Ratti is leveraging the internet of things to understand how people live and use that as the foundation of new, responsive design. Ratti says design is changing, thanks to the internet of things, and buildings and houses can become increasingly adaptive. Using digital sensors, users can “teach” homes to respond to them.
