Steamlab is a space devoted to cross-disciplinary research and advanced learning, where computational design is conceived as a contamination and connection medium, able to bridge creative disciplines [design, arts, architecture], automation [robotics, digital fabrication, computation] and material sciences. Steamlab is an independent multidisciplinary research laboratory active in the Turin area, while being active member of the international community of researchers, designers and professionals pushing the computational design culture evolution and dissemination. Steamlab emerges from the renown experience of Co-de-iT - Computational design Italy and from the most recent digifabTURINg initiative, an experimental project addressed to the creative exploration of industrial technologies. Their work is internationally published.
