The City Form Lab (CFL) is an urban design research group at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. Founded by Andres Sevtsuk at MIT in 2010 as the City Form Research Group, it moved to SUTD in fall 2011 when prof. Sevtsuk joined the newest university in Singapore. CFL focuses on empirical studies and design explorations of the physical structures of contemporary built environments. The lab develops software tools for researching urban form and land use patterns; uses cutting-edge spatial analysis and statistics to investigate how the physical form of urban infrastructure affects the social, environmental and economic quality of urban environments; and develops creative design and policy solutions for contemporary urban challenges. CFL's recent projects include the open-source Urban Network Analysis Toolbox for ArcGIS distributed since 2010, the SUTD Gridshell Pavilion, samples of urban fabric in Bugis and Punggol Singapore, and the exhibit at the 2013 Tallinn Architecture Biennale. CFL's urban design research is led by an interdisciplinary group of architects, city planners, spatial analysts, programmers, sociologists and artists.
The City Form Lab's work has been features in the Boston Globe, TEDx, Dezeen, Fast Company and CUBES among others. The Lab has collaborated and received support from the SUTD/MIT International Design Center, the World Bank, and ARUP.
