Sergio Mutis

Sergio Mutis is an architect, researcher, and computational designer exploring spatial adaptation through robotics, digital fabrication, and artificial intelligence at MIT.

Sergio is a graduate researcher in the Critical Matter Group at the MIT Media Lab, where he leads research in computational design, robotic fabrication, and robotic assembly. He is also a Technical Tutor of Construction Robotics at the Bartlett School of Architecture of UCL, a Research Collaborator in spatial intelligence at the MIT Design Intelligence Lab, and a guest tutor for NASA and MIT Space Enabled’s Zero Robotics program.

Previously, Sergio worked at Zaha Hadid Architects' Computational Design Research Group (CODE), developing research in advanced geometry and procedural design for architecture and engineering projects across the globe. His contributions have featured in exhibitions at the Venice Biennale and Chicago Architecture Biennial. He has also served as Visiting Tutor in the Innovation Design Engineering program at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art.

Sergio holds an SMArchS in Computation and an SM in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, where he developed research on structural assembly and adaptation through robotics. He also holds a Master’s in Architectural Design from UCL, where he earned the Bartlett AD Gold and Theory Medals.

Sergio is a founding member of Apidae Forms, a start-up developing collaborative robotic systems for concrete construction automation, winner of the MIT DesignX Grand Prize. He also co-leads Apata Colombia, a non-profit recognized with the ProColombia National Impact Generation Award and the WTM Peacebuilding Latin America Prize for eco-tourism and peacebuilding efforts in Colombia.
