Kent’s research focuses on developing urban interventions that enable more entrepreneurial, livable, high-performance districts in cities. To that end, his projects include advanced simulation and augmented reality for urban design, transformable micro-housing for millennials, and mobility-on-demand systems that create alternatives to private automobiles. Kent also directs the City Science network, a global network striving to enable more livable, equitable and resilient communities.

Kent’s design work has been published in Architectural Record, Progressive Architecture, Global Architecture, The New York Times, A+U, and Architectural Digest.

Larson and researchers from his group received the “10-Year Impact Award” from UbiComp 2014. This is a “test of time” award for work that, with the benefit of hindsight, has had the greatest impact over the previous decade.

Larson practiced architecture for 15 years in New York City, with design work published in Architectural Record, Progressive Architecture, Global Architecture, The New York Times, A+U, and Architectural Digest. The New York Times Review of Books selected his book, Louis I. Kahn: Unbuilt Masterworks (2000) as one of that year’s ten best books in architecture.
