About Wyatt Armstrong 

Wyatt Armstrong is a designer, fabricator and educator from Toronto, Canada. He is interested in tools that enable a widened use of materials, particularly how their integration within industry might encourage industrial landscapes to transition out of vulnerable states.

Experience in timber framing, architecture, lighting design, wayfinding and advanced manufacturing inform his practice Architecture Workshop, which offers services in design for production, prototyping and fabrication. He recently began working with Toronto Metropolitan University to make robotic fabrication more accessible to students. Previously, he taught postgraduate and first year courses at the Architectural Association and was the Architectural Robotics Developer for the Hooke Park campus.
