The Laboratory for Design Technologies (LDT) is a collaborative platform that brings together Harvard University’s research units with a select group of industry advisors to engage in forward-looking, speculative, and imaginative research. Over the past year (Fall 2019-Fall 2020), discussions and working sessions with the advisors, faculty, and researchers have enriched and informed the direction of LDT research, including the production of two research books, ON FLYING: A Toolkit and the Atlas of Urban Air Mobility.
