Building Simulation
Digital modeling and analysis of buildings to test performance, adaptability, and real-world behavior before construction.
Building simulation uses computational tools to predict how structures will perform across environmental, structural, and social dimensions. Designers employ these methods to optimize energy efficiency, natural ventilation, structural integrity, and spatial functionality before breaking ground.The community explores simulation across housing typologies and urban contexts, from adaptive residential systems that respond to inhabitant needs to mixed-use towers that balance ventilation, density, and neighborhood integration. Members document how simulation informs design decisions in projects ranging from modular housing prototypes to large-scale urban housing complexes.
