With parametrics, even complex architectural designs can easily be turned into drawings and sent for subsequent cutting without losing or making a mistake in any element. It's automatic changing

We specifically developed this facade algorithm for a factory Macrofabrica, with the task to quickly calculate possible bending radii, the spacing of the slats, and also to compute how the parameters of slat spacing and the profile used in this facade affect the final insolation at four different times of the year—winter, autumn, spring, and summer—at 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM, and 4:00 PM. The task was completed in a very short time; within a few days, we developed more than 24 different facade options. Since we work with algorithms, we have the capability to automatically change all elements of the facade depending on its shape. A unique feature of this algorithm is that we take the initial surface and, by adding slats to it, approximate the end lamella to possible radii that can later be used for rolling in production. This means that the shape changes slightly, usually around the very edge of this shape. However, this creates the possibility to manufacture the facade using the corresponding machines.

This project was developed for Freedom Company, a firm specializing in the construction of dome homes, glamping sites, hotels, and resorts. Specifically for them, we devised an algorithm that can transform any surface into a fully detailed structure. Utilizing Freedom's proprietary techniques, this algorithm is based on the constructive features of dome constructions. The result of this algorithm is that it allows you to take a surface and transform it into a construction layout which is automatically unfolded on CNC machines to the required sizes with minimal waste area. This is a significant advantage in the production phase, as it saves time and material. Thanks to this algorithm, it is possible to create a dome structure in just 2 hours from the form loading to the moment the drawings are issued directly on the machine.

We develop complex designs using parametric tools.

We design models of architectural and engineering structures using your parameters.

We can help you quickly find the best options and easily obtain drawings for fabrication.

We develop unique constructive assemblies for CNC machines for complex curved surfaces according to customer specifications.

We can automatize the working processes of design based on the given parameters, such as the shape of the plot, its area, surroundings, the required density of buildings, number of storeys, apartments, as well as insolation


.
Based on the parameters given by the customer we provide a range of options for building optimal for the site satisfying regulatory documentation.



We provide an opportunity at the stage of the concept to get all the typification of the elements of the facade

This massing reduces the amount of time spent on selecting a conceptual solution.


The architect chooses the aesthetically appropriate option from the solutions issued.

In this way, the first stage of the architect's work, when the necessary parameters are available, is expected to be reduced by several times and the optimal variant of development can be thought up quickly.

Parametric design allows the efficient use of climate data.
The algorithms that we use help to calculate the insolation of the entire building in a few minutes and preclude occasional mistakes.

Based on insolation standards, we can immediately calculate and identify which windows are out of the standard range.
Using the algorithm we can also choose the shape and location of the building to comply with all the norms.

Ladybug imports standard weather files into Grasshopper. It provides a variety of 2D and 3D interactive climate graphics that support dwell time decision making during the early stages of the design process.

We can find the shape of the building as quickly as possible to comply with the norms of insolation, solar radiation and comfortable in the wind to maximize the design process.

Evolutionary algorithms find the best options based on the available parameters. We offer the ability to choose geometry from a variety of suitable options. It is easy to change the location of the building within the plot boundaries, change the shape of the building, the type of facades, and more.
