Innovative AI integration to traverse the parametric solution space

Our new report includes the generative algorithms which explore the parametric space guided by constraints, objectives and diversity measures. The algorithms can generate designs from scratch, or adapt existing designs using artificial evolution, constrained optimization and quality-diversity search. The intended…

New elaborated report on multi-simulation perspectives in VR

Our new report builds upon the cross-disciplinary perspectives of the AEC industry, by providing a more detailed description of the specific software framework -‘ontology’- and functionalities to be implemented in PrismArch platform. These issues could be addresses under two headings:…

AEC innovative solutions: Stefanescu joins us for an overall discussion

Dimitrie Stefanescu, founder at Speckle Systems and an adept advisor in the ranks of PrismArch project, joined a discussion with PrismArch’s consortium on Friday, October 1. Dimitrie joined our meeting to discuss on recent developments on Speckle and its future…

Sphereing: a new approach for Real-time Collaboration in VR

ZHVR group has authored a white paper on the Sphereing framework for real-time collaboration and co-presence in VR. Now available for download from the ZHVR website, this paper stems out of ZHVR’s contribution to PrismArch, presenting Sphereing as a novel…

Our new logo: a synthesis of elegant simplicity

A new logo is released for PrismArch project, reflecting its core functionality and aspiration: to create a VR-aided design environment for the AEC industry that will enhance the collaborative capabilities across its main disciplines, namely architecture, structural engineering and MEP.…

New report on parametric design space just released

Our new report, grounded in a review of the state-of-the-art in the pertinent areas, aims to map out the parametric space that artificially intelligent algorithms can explore, as well as mathematical formulas for measuring constraint satisfaction, efficiency, and diversity in…

A new definition of architectural projects and usage scenarios

Our latest report was developed and authored by three basic AEC disciplines, namely Architects (Zaha Hadid Virtual Reality Group), Structural Engineers (AKT II) and Mechanical, Electrical, Public Health Engineers (Sweco). The desired operation system and user experience design are analysed,…

First version of architectural design and integration protocol now released

A roadmap for the developments of PrismArch platform was just released through PrismArch’s latest report, including a draft of the envisioned system architecture, a technical overview of the platform’s different modules, a timeline and dependency map. This deliverable consists a…

PrismArch’s 3nd plenary meeting: new exciting outcomes

PrismArch conducted its 3nd plenary meeting which took place virtually, on 29 and 30 of June, 2021. It was a great opportunity for members of the consortium to exchange news and updates on their working progress: from the analysis of…

New results on PrismArch’s APIs Integration and architecture interconnection

We are pleased to announce that we have concluded with the first version of PrismArch’s APIs integration between BIM/CAE-Simulation software and the Unreal engine. The overall concept could be described as the first version of the integration between CAD/BIM/CAE software…
