Description

Enhance architectural design using AI alongside graph technology to receive prompt insights on performance, identify issues, and discover optimal solutions during the initial design phases. Experience seamless navigation within a tool dedicated to actionable exploration, allowing transitions between massing, program allocation, story configuration, and spatial planning. Evaluate multiple design variants in mere seconds and automatically populate stories with detailed plans, eliminating tedious Excel calculations for essential metrics. Instantly assess how well your designs align with client requirements, including unit distribution, area calculations, daylight analysis, and carbon impact assessments. Integrated error prevention measures ensure compliance with your firm's, clients', and local regulations. Concentrate on the creative aspects of your project while Finch discreetly manages adherence to essential guidelines. Share an engaging, interactive 3D model with anyone using a web browser, enabling them to provide feedback on massing, layouts, and design elements directly within your project. This collaborative approach transforms the design process, fostering a more communicative and efficient workflow.
