RAD, Responsive Architecture at Daniels is a research unit housed at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto. The research is premised on the notion that every building or landscape component can be equipped with computational power. Projects at RAD develop models for such digitally enhanced environments to better handle persistent and emerging challenges in the areas of healthcare, building technology and sustainability. The projects are set up for multi-disciplinary collaboration and for potential development in partnership with industry.
