Smart Structures in Architectural Projects: Towards an interactive design framework combining multiscalar structural optimisation and custom-optimized structural nodes for generative design

Interactive mass customisation is changing practice in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Future workflows software systems could address human-in-the-loop technology to augment human creative capacities. Early design stages require quick well-informed decisions response data available from building information modelling technology. Architectural de-sign has been transformed by in-troduction of but until recently actual continued be performed architect. That begun change with exploration interactive frame works.
