The studio is operated as a cloud-based organization and works with computational designers and researchers across the world. The studio and the research cell are located in New Delhi, India where research takes place through collaboration and multidisciplinary functions which gives rise to novel solutions and smart built environments. The studio was founded by Sushant Verma (Alumni of AA London & SSSA, New Delhi) & Pradeep Devadass (Alumni of AA London & RVSA, Bangalore).

GVS (Global Visiting School) is a part of Rat[LAB]EDUCATION which aims to launch workshops and exhibitions in collaboration with various schools at different geographical locations. In 2020, due to COVID-19, GVS has been conducted offline which enabled the students and professionals across the globe to attend the lectures from their home and it included topics like Computational Design, Grasshopper3D, Environmental Design, Robotics in Architecture, Maya, Creative Coding, C# Coding, etc. It has already been conducted in the UK, USA, Italy, Taiwan, Japan, Egypt, Philippines, Ukraine, Belarus, and India. Some of the advanced topics like Scalable Tectonics & Robotic 3D Printing are inserted in the lecture series and some of the professionals like Praneet Mathur (ARPM Design and Research), Ben Kikkawa (Zaha Hadid Architects, Sci-Arc), Pradeep Devadass (The Bartlett UCL + Design Exchange (B-made)), etc gave lectures on their specializations.

India’s first free to use Grasshopper plugin is developed by Rat[LAB]EDUCATION which was launched at www.food4rhino.com on 1st May 2019, known as [SPIRO]rat. It is the digital interpretation of Spirograph which helps to create infinite patterns of Epitrochoids and Hypotrochoids which can be transformed into special formations.
