Summary
William Martin is a transdisciplinary researcher and educator with 13 years of practice blending architecture, urbanism, data analytics, and media to design equity-focused, resilient environments both physical and digital. Currently a Teaching Fellow at Carnegie Mellon and co-founder of Studiobvio, he leads interdisciplinary teams to deliver applied research, interactive visualizations, and computational design workflows (BIM, Dynamo/Grasshopper, GIS, R, Power BI). His portfolio spans academia, public-sector planning, and creative media—work presented at MoMA, Harvard, and major planning forums—reflecting a rare agility from documentary filmmaking to automated spatial analysis. William’s interdisciplinary training (MArch, MS Conservation, PhD candidate in Transition Design) enables him to translate complex socio-spatial problems into practical design and policy interventions. Notably, he built and institutionalized code-based GIS and R pipelines in professional settings, bringing reproducible analytics into planning practice.
