Description

Hektar is an innovative cloud-based software designed for generative design, specifically aimed at assisting with early-stage urban planning, pre-design, and schematic design tasks. Created by Parametric, it empowers architects and urban planners to improve their projects by effectively managing the complexities involved in critical design phases. By leveraging evolutionary algorithms and artificial generative intelligence, the platform transforms user inputs from broad concepts into detailed, viable designs and accurate estimates. Hektar’s suite of tools incorporates both geometrical and geographical intelligence, enabling users to specify essential features like access points, exclusions for construction, and custom street layouts. Furthermore, it offers numerical controls, allowing for precise adjustments related to project elements such as building depth, greenery integration, and parking arrangements. The software begins processing intricate information about lighting and sun exposure early in the geometry pipeline, leading to the creation of informed design proposals that can adapt to various scenarios. In this way, Hektar not only enhances the design process but also fosters collaboration among multiple stakeholders involved in urban development projects.

Description

Simplex 3D is an advanced 3D reality-planning platform that enables professionals to visualize, strategize, and construct within precise urban and infrastructural frameworks. It features smooth 360° navigation across city landscapes with a remarkable resolution of up to 3 cm-per-pixel, integrating various data types such as zoning, transportation, financial, and infrastructure information for a thorough understanding of the situation. Users have the capability to import intricate architectural CAD or BIM models from software like Revit or SketchUp, create new designs, simulate different scenarios regarding height, shadows, and visibility, and assess their plans in realistic settings. The platform includes a comprehensive collaboration workspace, allowing project participants to exchange views, bookmarks, comments, and presentations all in one cohesive environment, which enhances the efficiency of approval processes and minimizes discrepancies. Furthermore, Simplex 3D is equipped with engineering-grade measurement tools, split-screen comparisons of past and future projections, and real-time data overlays, thereby removing ambiguity and facilitating informed decision-making. This innovative approach not only optimizes project planning but also encourages teamwork and enhances communication among stakeholders.
