AI Pre-Design Tools
AI software that accelerates early-stage architectural and engineering design exploration.
Definition
AI Pre-Design Tools help architects and engineers explore design options faster during the conceptual and schematic phases. These tools use generative AI to create massing studies, floor plan layouts, and site configurations based on constraints like program requirements, zoning regulations, and environmental factors. By automating early design exploration, teams can evaluate more options and make better-informed decisions before committing to detailed design.
Examples
Generating multiple floor plan options based on program requirements in minutes
Exploring building massing alternatives that meet zoning constraints
Testing site configurations for solar exposure and views automatically
