About

Mads Brath Jensen is an architectural researcher and designer specializing in human-robot collaboration, computational design, and robotic fabrication in architecture. His work sits at a compelling intersection of design thinking, interactive robotics, and material systems, pushing the boundaries of how architects and robots can work together as genuine creative partners rather than in purely deterministic, automated workflows. Jensen's most significant contribution is his development of frameworks for co-creative human-robot design exploration, most fully realized in his 2021 PhD thesis, which proposes methodologies enabling fluid, responsive collaboration between humans, robots, and materials during the fabrication process. His 2020 paper on interactive human-robot design exploration (8 citations) has become a foundational reference in the field, offering researchers and practitioners new tools for integrating robotics meaningfully into early-stage architectural design. His research also extends into practical applications, including collaborative robotic masonry, computer vision-guided brick wall design, and acoustically optimized wood panel fabrication — demonstrating both theoretical rigor and hands-on experimental depth. With a growing citation record across multiple venues, Jensen is establishing himself as an important voice in next-generation architectural fabrication. His work is particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in redefining the role of the architect in an increasingly automated design environment.
