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

Veras is an innovative visualization application powered by AI, seamlessly integrating with design tools like SketchUp, Revit, Rhinoceros, and Vectorworks, as well as web platforms, to enrich creativity and inspire users through their existing 3D model geometries. It features a geometry override slider that empowers users to find the perfect balance between creative expression and adherence to the original model's accuracy. With the render selection capability, users can make precise adjustments to targeted areas within images, ensuring real-time modifications that enhance their designs. Moreover, the render from the same seed function promotes a streamlined iterative design process by allowing users to maintain initial parameters while experimenting with new prompts. Accessible through a web app, Veras negates the need for complex installations or costly BIM software, enabling users to upload images or sketches directly in their browser for a full-fledged experience. This versatility makes it compatible with various versions of popular design software, ensuring a wide range of usability. As a result, Veras stands out as a comprehensive tool for designers looking to elevate their creative workflows.
