Generative Design

Eight tools for generative space design

Enrique Tovar at ArchDaily:

Undoubtedly, the integration of computational tools offers vast possibilities and applications for generative design. These tools enable us to work with greater precision and awareness, optimizing resources and emphasizing critical decision-making. Therefore, we have curated a selection of tools and platforms that demonstrate the potential of optimizing space design through technological advancements, smartphones, AI, machine learning, and other related technologies.

The list includes a few tools and platforms I hadn’t yet heard of.

The Now and Future of Generative Design

I recently hosted a live webinar with Britton Langdon, Chief Strategy Officer at Snaptrude, and Clifton Harness, CEO of TestFit. The discussion covers recent advancements in—and possibly the re-emergence of—useful generative design tools, focusing on early-stage concept design, land use, feasibility, and evolving digital workflows in architectural practice.
