Center for Augmented Computational Design in AEC

The objectives of Design++, the new Center for Augmented Computational Design in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), are to develop digitally augmented design tools and computational processes that will enable experts to simultaneously increase construction productivity, improve the quality of the built environment and substantially reduce the ecological impact of AEC sectors. We focus on extended reality (XR) tools enabled via the new Immersive Design Lab (IDL) and we also utilize relevant AI and machine learning methods to investigate our research questions.
