About

An architect by training and an entrepreneur by nature, Brant Coletta’s approach to working in the built environment is both creative and pragmatic. He seeks to bridge the gap between emerging ideas in design, technology, and industry disruption to create unexpected results. Working with collaborators across public and private sectors, Brant brings teams together to realize projects made possible only through unorthodox partnerships. He leads SOM’s Research + Innovation team, the firm’s experimental think tank, which has spearheaded projects ranging from a prototype for a Covid-responsive pop-up classroom called School/House, to a vault made of glass bricks assembled entirely by robots.
