Abstract: An urban design pipeline automatically generates design options for an urban design project. The urban design pipeline includes a geometry engine and an evaluation engine. The geometry engine analyzes design criteria, design objectives, and design heuristics associated with the urban design project and then generates numerous candidate designs. The design criteria specify a property boundary associated with a region of land to be developed. The design objectives indicate a specific type of topology that is derived from an existing urban layout. The design heuristics include different sets of construction rules for generating designs with specific types of topologies. The geometry engine generates candidate designs that conform to the property boundary and have topological characteristics in common with the existing urban layout.

Abstract: An urban design pipeline automatically generates design options for an urban design project. The urban design pipeline includes a geometry engine and an evaluation engine. The geometry engine analyzes design criteria and design objectives associated with the urban design project and then generates numerous candidate designs that meet the design criteria and optimize the design objectives to varying degrees. The evaluation engine evaluates each candidate design to generate a set of metrics. The geometry engine modifies the candidate designs based on corresponding metrics to generate candidate designs that better meet the design criteria and more effectively achieve the design objectives.

Abstract: A design engine for designing an object using structural analysis. The design engine generates a lattice structure for the object comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of lines connecting the nodes. The lattice structure is optimized to remove one or more lines using structural analysis based on at least one load-related design requirement. Several design options are provided for generating and optimizing the lattice structure. The design engine then generates a 3D model of the object by thickening each line of the lattice structure into a pipe volume. The thickness of each pipe is determined using structural analysis based on the at least one load-related design requirement. The 3D model represents the volume of the object and is exportable to a fabrication device.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for evaluating productive congestion within an architectural space design. The technique includes generating a space analysis graph for the architectural space design. The technique further includes determining a traversal value for at least a first node of a plurality of nodes included in the space analysis graph, determining a centroid of the plurality of nodes, determining a path within the space analysis graph from at least the first node to the centroid, and determining a productive congestion metric based on at least the path from the first node to the centroid and the traversal value of the first node.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for space frame design involves constructing a load stress map in a geometrical boundary representation of a design space, defining attachment points and load application points in the design space, creating a starting network of interconnecting lines between each two of the attachment points and load application points in the design space, assigning load application factors to each line of the starting network of interconnecting lines based on values of the load stress map, generating potential space frame designs by culling different subsets of lines of the starting network of interconnecting lines for each potential space frame design according to variable culling parameters, evaluating the potential space frame designs with respect to optimization parameters, combining the culling parameters for the potential space frame designs the performance score of which is above a predefined performance threshold, and iterating the steps of generating potential space frame designs and evaluating the potential space frame designs on the basis of the combined culling parameters.

Abstract: A design engine includes a geometry module and a metric module that interoperate to generate optimal design options. The geometry module initially generates a spectrum of design options for a structure based on project constraints and design criteria set forth by potential occupants of the structure. The metric module then analyzes each design option and generates, for any given design option, a set of metrics that indicates how well the given design option meets the design criteria. The geometry module then generates additional design options in an evolutionary manner to improve the metrics generated for subsequent design options.
