- City Science
Georine Pierre is a creative technologist, multimedia designer, and architect specializing in human-centered research, immersive interactive environments, data-driven storytelling, and geospatial systems to explore the impact on future cities. A graduate of the MIT Media Lab, where she is currently a Research Affiliate in the City Science Group, she brings a cross-disciplinary approach that spans product design, experiential media, and urban technology—translating complex systems into engaging, accessible learning experiences.
Her work bridges experiential design, UX/UI, policy, planning, and education, with a deep commitment to equity, sustainability, and inclusive futures. At MIT Media Lab, she has developed immersive installations, interactive media, and AR/VR prototypes that explore critical global themes from circular economies, climate change, and cultural resilience for public engagement. Previously, at Columbia University’s Center for Resilient Cities and Landscapes, she collaborated with the World Wildlife Fund and government ministries to design multi-stakholder communication strategies and visual toolkits on climate adaptation, making research accessible to policymakers and the public to improve regional planning in Mozambique. Most recently, as a Scholar at the Norman Foster Institute on Sustainable Cities, she is working with the government of Sierra Leone to design mobility and planning tools for rapidly changing urban contexts affected by climate change and population growth.
She has collaborated with the Resilient Cities Network, Architectural Ecologies Lab, Resilient by Design, and UC Berkeley’s Y-Plan, leading international projects in partnership with civic institutions, creative industries, and academic collaborators. She holds a Master of Science from the MIT Media Lab, a Master in Architecture from California College of the Arts, and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning.
