10,000 options in one project

"Generative design is essentially a process that mimics nature, using cloud computing to take an evolutionary approach to design.

The process begins by defining a set of goals for your design as well as parameters that will restrict it, then uses a computer to crunch through all of the possible permutations to find the best option." To find out more...

Sefaira Architecture

"Sefaira Architecture is a collaborative, cloud-based software that combines an engaging, easy-to-learn interface with validated industry-standard analysis engines. It equips firms who care about building performance to:

• Produce high-performing design concepts from the early design stages;
• Collaborate across disciplines and across firms;
• Educate and empower their teams to adopt Performance-Based Design; and
• Communicate their success with Performance-Based Design across the firm and to the market." to find out more...

McKinsey & Company on AI

"Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be everywhere. We experience it at home and on our phones. Before we know it—if entrepreneurs and business innovators are to be believed—AI will be in just about every product and service we buy and use. In addition, its application to business problem solving is growing in leaps and bounds. And at the same time, concerns about AI’s implications are rising: we worry about the impact of AI-enabled automation on the workplace, employment, and society."  to find out more...

Parametric Design

"Parametric Design uses defined parameters to generate numerous designs with the aid of algorithms. This can help with productivity as well as innovation to create multiple designs and configurations of products and architecture which would have not surfaced using traditional methods, not to mention all done in a fraction of the time needed with the power of computers. This reading list has an emphasis in architectural design and features literature from 1981 to present to help give an idea of the beginnings of parametric design to current methods." to find out more...

Parametric Modeling with Sverchok

"Sverchok is a powerful parametric tool for architects, allowing geometry to be programmed visually with nodes. Mesh and geometry programming consists of combining basic elements such as:

• lists of indexed Vectors representing coordinates (Sverchok vectors are zero based)
• lists of grouped indices to represent edges and polygons.
• matrices (user-friendly rotation-scale-location transformations)" to find out more...
