Collaborator Leon Groisser (Deceased)
Collaborator Nicholas Negroponte
Notes MIT’S ARCHITECTURE MACHINE GROUP (ARCH MAC), founded by Nicholas Negroponte and Leon Groisser in 1967, was a laboratory that meshed architecture, engineering, and computing in a new vision of architectural research and teaching. Department of Architecture and Planning Dean Lawrence Anderson sought to challenge traditional architectural pedagogy: the Beaux-Arts teaching method exercised what he called a “residual influence [that] remains as an incubus that dampens our enthusiasm for any panacea.” Anderson called for the department to look to other fields and collaborations, drawing attention to the “promise of new methodologies for problem solving, especially those supported by memory and retrieval systems and manipulative possibilities of the computer.” Arch Mac served as a response to Anderson’s challenge.
