The user inputs the site boundary and constraints (e.g., "Max height 10 stories").

The user inputs the site boundary and constraints (e.g., "Max height 10 stories"). The AI generates hundreds of layout options—towers, blocks, courtyards. It scores each on cost, daylight, and profitability.

The AI checks local planning rules. "This layout violates the 'Right to Light' of the neighbor."

The AI checks local planning rules. "This layout violates the 'Right to Light' of the neighbor." It filters out non-compliant designs, saving architects weeks of work.

Frequently asked questions

What does Generative Urban Design mean?

Generative Urban Design uses artificial intelligence to create a wide range of urban layouts based on specified constraints.

How does AI speed up the design process?

AI significantly accelerates the design process by rapidly generating and evaluating numerous layout options, reducing the time architects spend on initial explorations.
