Crafting New Architectual Experiences with Computational Design

Release the Power of Computational Design

Computational architecture is an excellent way to make your design more efficient and visually complex solutions.

Computational design helps architects, designers and engineers to quickly generate, and analyse multiple design options, and to choose best ones. DDC-make can help you to implement computational approach in order to enhance, speed up, and automatically create drawings for manufacturing.

Computational design is an innovative approach to design based on algorithmic thinking and implementation of data in the design and manufacturing process. It is closely connected with novel manufacturing processes – digital fabrication. Digital fabrication is a manufacturing process that uses machines in (CNC, 3D printers, Robots) controlled by computers in order to produce physical products, prototypes or structures. Digital fabrication closes the gap between computational design and physical construction process. Additionally, computational design and digital fabrication are technological foundations for mass customization, process of producing and delivering highly differentiated products with low unit cost associated with mass production.

With computational tools and mass customization, variety no longer compromises the efficiency and economy of production. If you are looking for mass customization solutions or parametric design in the cloud check our solutions here.

Computational design enables creating unique design solutions achieved through creating geometric relations between parameters. DDC-make can identify and build key design parameters aiming to achieve challenging aesthetic shape and an efficient design.

5 key advantages of computational over traditional architecture

01 Unique design

02 Dealing with complexity

Computational design allows designers to incorporate computational and geometric complexity in design workflow. We design algorithms that enables shaping and manipulation of thousands unique elements within single design workflow.

03 Design for Manufacturing

Fabrication and manufacturing constraints can be directly embedded in parametric models in order to create production drawings ready for production. We use design-to-fabrication workflow and can deliver 3D model or manufacturing drawing CNC milling, 3D printing or robotic fabrication.

04 Cost reduction

Production costs can be minimized with advanced geometry and topology rationalization. We can integrate cost profiling and geometry rationalization in design workflow.

05 Performance-driven design

Performance-based design involves the calculation of structural or environmental parameters (solar radiation, wind flow, thermal comfort) to meet one or more performance criteria.
