About

One Jae Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, computational design, and construction technology, with a particular focus on automated facade assembly and digital fabrication workflows. His most influential work, "Robot-based facade spatial assembly optimization" (2020), has garnered 53 citations and established him as a leading voice in applying robotic systems to complex architectural construction challenges. Lee's research addresses a critical gap in contemporary design practice — the disconnect between early-stage digital experimentation and real-world manufacturing and construction execution. A recurring theme throughout his work is the development of integrated digital workflows that bridge design intent and physical implementation. His contributions to generative design algorithms for robotic pick-and-place operations demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of both computational tools and on-site construction constraints. His studies on double-skin facade perforation further showcase his commitment to marrying environmental performance analysis with robotic fabrication, creating holistic workflows that are both efficient and responsive to design goals. Through datasets, algorithmic tools, and applied case studies, Lee has made tangible contributions that equip practitioners and researchers with practical frameworks for deploying robotics in construction — pushing the boundaries of what automated building assembly can achieve.
