Keith Evan Green is an American architect,{{cite web |title=Licensee Lookup |url=https://verify.llronline.com/LicLookup/Arch/Arch.aspx?div=63 |website=South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation |access-date=2025-06-24}} interaction designer, and roboticist. He holds the Jean and Douglas McLean Professorship in Human Centered Design at Cornell University, with joint appointments in the Department of Human Centered Design and the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.{{cite web |title=Keith Evan Green |url=https://www.engineering.cornell.edu/people/keith-evan-green |website=Cornell Engineering |access-date=2025-06-24}}
Green works at the intersection of architecture, robotics, psychology, and human–computer interaction. He authored Architectural Robotics: Ecosystems of Bits, Bytes and Biology (MIT Press, 2016).
Education
Green is a 1981 graduate of Livingston High School (New Jersey).{{cite web |url=https://livingstonhighschoolalumni.com/livingston-nj/alumni-list-g.html |title=Livingston High School alumni directory}} He earned a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1985, a Master of Architecture from the University of Illinois Chicago, and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.{{cite web |title=Keith Evan Green biography |url=https://www.engineering.cornell.edu/people/keith-evan-green |publisher=Cornell Engineering}}
Research
Green conducts research in human-robot interaction and the design of cyber-physical environments aimed at supporting and enhancing human activity. The work of his Architectural Robotics Lab (ARL) at Cornell University envisions the built environment—from furniture to entire spaces—as active participants in human interaction.{{cite web |title=Architectural Robotics Lab |url=https://cfacaa.human.cornell.edu/dea.arl/people_keith.htm |publisher=Cornell HCD}} His concept of “architectural robotics” characterizes designed physical environments that act, think and evolve with their inhabitants—blurring the line between space and agent.{{cite book |last=Green |first=K.

Green’s research has influenced commercial development, including companies like Ori Living and Bumblebee Spaces, which cite his contributions to reconfigurable robotic interiors.{{cite news |last=Mims |first=Christopher |title=For Rent: 327 Square Foot Apartment With 5 Rooms—Thanks to Robot Furniture |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/robot-furniture-apartment-ori-11660221601 |work=The Wall Street Journal |date=August 13, 2022 |access-date=June 24, 2025}} His vision was featured in the 125th Anniversary Issue of MIT Technology Review, in an article imagining future life from a baby born in 2024.{{cite news |last=Platoni |first=Kara |title=Happy birthday, baby!

A foundational work of Green’s in architectural robotics, consisting of drawings and models, is part of the permanent collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.{{cite web |title=Life Cycle House, Schiff Foundation Fellowship Presentation Drawings |date=1990 |url=https://www.artic.edu/artworks/242063/life-cycle-house-schiff-foundation-fellowship-presentation-drawings |publisher=Art Institute of Chicago}}
