Description
Spacemaker is an easy-to-use software for outcome-driven design in the early stages of AEC projects. The software enables planning and design teams to create an optimal proposal for a building site based on physical data, site constraints, regulations, and local preferences. This class will present a case study in which the Spacemaker team worked with a leading real estate developer to revolutionize the site development process. In this example, Spacemaker was used by NREP Denmark and Årstiderne Arkitekter in developing the 35 000 m2 UN17 Village. The entire project team used Spacemaker´s outcome-driven design capabilities to perform design exploration, test regulatory requirements, and optimize site qualities such as wind, sun, daylight, noise, and outdoor areas. The 3D model in Spacemaker served as a single source of truth for the entire project team.
Key Learnings
- Apply generative design to the early stages of project development
- Create a 3D model to fully understand the building site, boundaries, terrain, surroundings and regulatory constraints
- Design, compare and optimize multiple scenarios to create a concept that delivers desired density and living qualities
- Receive detailed analytics on criteria that are critical for the quality and sustainability of a neighbourhood
