Hypar
A cloud-based platform for creating and sharing generative design workflows and custom building components.
Price: Premium
Description
Hypar provides a collaborative environment for architects, engineers, and developers to build, automate, and share generative design functions. Users can create custom "Functions" that automate design tasks, from generating floor plans to optimizing building performance, using code or visual scripting. It targets design teams seeking to standardize and scale their generative design capabilities beyond individual projects. Hypar distinguishes itself by offering a platform for building and sharing reusable design logic, fostering collaboration and knowledge transfer within organizations, unlike standalone generative design tools that are often used in isolation.
How to Use
1.Create an account and log in to the Hypar platform.
2.Start by exploring existing design 'Functions' or create your own custom Function.
3.Define inputs for a Function, such as site geometry or program requirements.
4.Run the Function to generate design variations and explore possibilities.
5.Review and analyze the generated outputs and performance metrics.
6.Share Functions with team members or the broader Hypar community for collaboration.
