Many performance-related decisions in architectural and urban design happen too late in the decision-making process to ensure they suit the clients' purposes. We believe this hinders true [urban regeneration][urban regeneration]. This research course challenges this status quo by developing software tools that empower communities and urban decision-makers.

Conventional environmental simulation approaches in urban design are time-consuming and often incompatible with fast-paced decision-making processes. This VIP aims to address this outdated paradigm by developing [surrogate models][surrogate models] that accelerate simulations (typically via machine learning) that offer real-time feedback to urban decision-makers, such as architects, urban designers, and policymakers.

Our goal is to seamlessly integrate sustainability considerations into every step of urban decision-making processes by integrating our models with industry-leading CAD tools such as `Rhino` and `Revit`, `QGIS`, `ArcGIS`, and making them useable even in the browser.
