Wes McGee is co-founder and partner of Matter Design, and an assistant professor of Architecture and director of the Fabrication Lab at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. His work revolves around the interrogation of material performance, with a research and teaching agenda focused on developing new connections between design, engineering, materials, and manufacturing processes as they relate to the built environment through the creation of customized software and hardware tools.

With the goal of seamlessly integrating fabrication constraints with design intent, the work spans multiple realms, including computation, materials, and the development of novel production processes which utilize industrial robots as bespoke machines of architectural production.
