What Experts Are Saying "KPF has been using GenerativeComponents for some time and it forms a key component in the armory of the KPF Computational Geometry Group. Several of our most advanced projects employ GenerativeComponents as a tool for exploring thousands of options as well as the complex geometry to be used in final construction, all ultimately benefiting our clients. The nature of GenerativeComponents as a MicroStation extension means that, as a matter of course, our advanced designs can be interchanged with an extraordinary variety of software." - Lars Hesselgren, Kohn Pederson Fox "At Arup, we believe firmly in the principle of integrated design and integrated approaches to design - it's the only way to design complex buildings well. That's why we use GenerativeComponents. And we are not alone. We are starting to see young people coming through the system doing things we could only have dreamed about a few years ago." - J Parrish, Arup Sport "Simplicity seeds complexity. But in the search for form we need to add reference to the representation to articulate the result. GenerativeComponents enables us to find, explore, and regulate forms more rapidly, and to transmit these forms to fabrication more economically." - Hugh Whitehead, Foster + Partners "Grimshaw's offices all share a common DNA. We are a design-driven office, and all projects are informed by the specific location, program, and environmental forces. We employ GenerativeComponents to take in and embed the multitude of inputs and structure them using this common DNA, thus enabling us to rapidly explore a variety of environmentally appropriate solutions for each design project." - Shane Burger, Grimshaw Architects "Using GenerativeComponents, we can accelerate our iteration through design options and, in parallel, assess all concepts and dismiss those that would be uneconomic to construct. As a result, we get to spend more time fine-tuning the best solution.â

Distinctive to Fran Silvestre Arquitectos' body of work, soaring white planes, stark visual geometry, and stunning minimalist explorations characterise this Ibiza abode, designed as though folding a single piece of paper.

With a sudden rise in organic architectural elements, and an equal uprising in architectural software, team India Art n Design (dot) com speaks to Computational Designer and Architect Vignesh Kaushik to get some insights…

Sergey Makhno Architects conceptualise a villa that frames different vistas from different sides of the built form and an interior, where there are no straight angles, maximum spatial freedom, and where the ethereal airiness of the rooms leads to differential geometry that intrigues and surprises at the same time. Check out this concept here…

Miguel de la Torre of mta+v captures the essence of conscious design with the Mexican villa christened Casa AYG, where minimal materials mark contemporary geometry while ensuring an unintrusive approach to the verdant landscape by Devas Paisaje.

Did the Aston Martin in the recent Skyfall pique your curiosity about a technologically driven future? Well, a structure on the moon will definitely blow you then! Click the link to read more...

We assist you with 3D Modeling services for Visualization and defect analysis in order to shorten the lead time for ideation, conceptualization and execution. Our team of 3D designers and drafters create 3D geometry consisting of spatial arrangement of objects, utilities and building spaces through software's such as AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Revit or 3Ds Max.

The 9-million-square-foot Marina Bay Sands is a beautiful blend of geometry and mathematics- an integration of order and complexity... a flying visit... It takes years of planning, executing and finishing gargantuan structures that become beacons of socio-cultural progress and hi-profile entertainment venues for public at large.

Jaisim Project - How important is it to be contextual in architecture? Ar. Jaisim's ongoing project is one such embodiment that calls for holistic perception of the structure per se. Read here and comment...
