His effort to discover and understand intersecting dimensions and applications of environment, technology, and architecture is enhanced by cross disciplinary collaboration and expanded by interests that encompass three realms of research: the development and utilization of dynamic responsive facade and wall modules for both exterior and interior applications, Innovative environmental strategies from the building scale to the city scale, including the underlying behavioral and structural changes needed to create a more sustainable community, and the integrated use of digital technologies with an emphasis on BIM, parametric, and energy analysis modeling, to inform new and emerging approaches to design and fabrication. He has an extensive background in environmental building analysis and design; prior to joining Virginia Tech, Matt worked at William McDonough + Partners, an architecture firm renowned for their environmental building expertise. Matt received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University, and a Master of Architecture from Virginia Tech. He has received awards for outreach and design from Virginia Tech, Metropolis Magazine, the International Living Future Institute, and the American Institute of Architects.
