What is ARCHITEChTURES?

AI Powered Building Design

ARCHITEChTURES is the result of applying Generative Artificial Intelligence to the architectural design process. Here you will find the platform's presentation, the benefits of its use, subscription plans, and how to manage your user account.

AI-Assisted Design

A "floor planner" is a tool for drawing building plans, either in 2D or 3D, such as Autocad, Revit, Archicad, Allplan, and others. ARCHITEChTURES is the first company in the world to introduce generative AI (GenAI) into floor plan design so you don't have to do all the work yourself; instead, artificial intelligence assists you by doing the most laborious part of the job.

However, ARCHITEChTURES is more than just a floor planner: it is a GenAI Assisted Building Design Platform, a broader concept that mainly translates into the following aspects:

  1. Assisted Architecture Design: during the design process, our AI assists the user by generating large parts of the project design. This is accomplished by following the instructions (i.e., design parameters) provided by the user in an iterative process that refines the project.
  2. Automation of Repetitive Processes: A large part of architectural work involves repetitive processes such as modeling, measurements, calculations and counts. Automating all of these not only streamlines the process of generating metrics, but also allows us to make informed decisions that lead to better designs.
  3. ARCHITEChTURES is a Platform: it provides CAD drawings, BIM drawings, measurements, budgets, etc.

It is important to note that, although our technology can be applied to any architectural design, it currently only supports multi-family residential buildings (including hotels, commercial areas in buildings and subway parking garages). Please consult our team for other building types.

Benefits of using ARCHITEChTURES

ARCHITEChTURES is an open platform where users, with the assistance of our generative AI co-pilot, can design at the speed of light, share their designs with third parties (both in visualization and editing mode) and download an Excel report, as well as CAD and BIM models of the development, in fully standard formats (DXF and IFC).

Overview of ARCHITEChTURES

With ARCHITEChTURES, thanks to the automation of repetitive processes, time optimization is guaranteed, being able to develop projects in hours instead of weeks. In addition, the versatility provided by the assistance of generative AI, mainly in the initial stage of architectural design, highlights its usefulness for architects and real estate developers, especially in fields such as:

  • Feasibility studies.
  • Site planning.
  • Business evaluation.
  • Concept iteration.
  • BIM schematic design (LOD 200+), i.e. basic project.
