Visionary Forge
Visionary Forge is designed to empower architects and developers by allowing them to effectively simulate and evaluate the aesthetic value of their buildings. This powerful tool goes beyond simple visual assessments, incorporating real-time tracking of construction costs and timelines to ensure that projects remain on budget and schedule. With Visionary Forge, users gain flexibility in shaping their building designs, thanks to a comprehensive array of input options. Whether you're aiming to create a sleek, modern structure or a complex, multi-faceted form, our tool adjusts to meet your vision, providing precise control over every aspect of the building's appearance and functionality.
Our tool is crafted to facilitate an intuitive design experience, letting you easily navigate between different design scenarios and visualize the impact of each modification. This not only helps in achieving the perfect balance between form and function but also ensures that each design decision contributes positively to the overall sustainability and efficiency of the building.
Using Visionary Forge is straightforward. Simply download the Dynamo file to start your generative study. As demonstrated in the images below, you can designate inputs as either constant or variable. The input ranges are pre-defined in the code to ensure stability. In the example shown, inputs like mid rotation, mid shift, and top shift are variable, allowing dynamic adjustments. Meanwhile, you can set other inputs as constants, tailoring them to meet your specific requirements
In the output phase of Visionary Forge, you will receive visual data that can be organized and analyzed in numerous ways to suit your project’s needs. You have the option to create scatter plots, mapping your data on the x and y axes, with the ability to further delineate information by adjusting the color and size of each scatter point. This provides a clear, intuitive way to interpret complex data sets. Additionally, for each data point, you can generate a visual representation of how your building will appear. This allows you to see the practical impact of various design choices directly. The tool also includes a parallel configuration mode, which lets you define and refine your search parameters. This mode is particularly useful for honing in on specific design outcomes and optimizing your project’s potential. Together, these features make it straightforward to assess options and make well-informed decisions that align with your architectural goals, ensuring that you can select the most effective design solution with ease and confidence.
