About Us

Carlo Ratti Associati (CRA) is an international architecture and design studio with offices in Turin and New York. Founded by MIT professor Carlo Ratti, CRA sits at the intersection of design, technology, and urban innovation, developing projects that range from buildings and public spaces to large-scale urban strategies. Our work is driven by a belief that design can be a tool for understanding and shaping the future of cities.

At CRA, architecture meets data, research meets construction, and curiosity is our most essential tool.
