An AI tool that speeds up generative design has been launched.

The Generative Design tool from Dallas-based TestFit is said to be the first of its kind for architecture, especially for commodity buildings. Most current generative design software caters to smaller-scale production like manufacturing and industrial design, but the new tool works for sites of all sizes, from multi-family developments to industrial buildings, TestFit claims.

Clifton Harness, chief executive and co-founder of TestFit, said: “Real estate development is innately bespoke. Every piece of land is unique, requiring every building to be a prototype. While experience and local knowledge can be applied to decision-making, with Generative Design, a machine can test every possible configuration, including what we would never even think to try.”
