Computational Design

The future of how we design new buildings, spaces, and facilities and establish comfort is tech-driven.

Computational design is not just a digital tool, but a sophisticated instrument which allows us to see construction differently. It offers a new method to generate, describe and analyze multiple design options, fast and iteratively.

Generative Design

Generative Design can harness the power of AI and Digital technology to develop high-performance and sophisticated design iterations that help solve complex construction challenges, like reducing component weight, identifying building orientation, improving energy-saving or optimizing performance, and making the overall design simpler.

Generative design is capable of simultaneous exploration, validation, and comparison of thousands of design alternatives. These are then evaluated by the engineer or the designer, who makes the final selection.

Computational Design

Computational Analysis

Using computational analysis tools ARENCOS can do just this; not only working with complex building components in architectural design but adapting it fast to effectively respond to the varying needs of the project.

Whether it is the off-grid equipment and its placement, or simulating the maximum amount of daylight, ARENCOS can help you understand the impact design decisions have on the project.

Computational Design

Sunlight Access

By analyzing the impact of the sunlight on a building, as well as the building’s location, the spatial arrangement, orientation, windows placement, daylight access and other design features ARENCOS can help clients increase the energy efficiency of their buildings, establish comfort and optimize the financial value of the building.

We offer:

• Solar Radiation Analysis
• Shade Assessment
• Building Material Durability Assessment

Computational Design

Pattern Recognition

ARENCOS via Computational Pattern Recognition can look for materials similarities, patterns and features to enable cost-effective, sustainable and risk-friendly project design before the construction process.

Whether looking for the maximum amount of daylight, the minimum amount of energy required, or simply the quality of material, there are many opportunities to leverage Computational Pattern Recognition in your project. 

Our team is exceptionally qualified to assist you identify which material or component would be a good fit for your commercial or residential project.

Computational Design

Geometric Rationalisation

It looks beautiful, but is it really buildable, durable and cost-efficient? We carefully investigate and assess the design elements of your structure to make sure their geometries will work and look beautiful in the real world.

Understanding material and structural components' performance are essential in finding an appropriate form. ARENCOS works with you to optimize the design through physics-based simulations and also can assist you design an operation and maintenance strategy for your project.

We provide solutions on:

  • Facade Design
  • Special Structural Components
  • Special Structures
  • Tall Buildings

Energy Autonomy

What it takes to reach net zero? The very idea of transitioning a property in Crete, Greece to net-zero carbon emissions can be daunting.

Performing an autonomy scenario analysis can help property owners weigh the costs of transitioning to net-zero carbon emissions — and the risks of maintaining such a property.

Whether solving for the maximum amount of sunlight, the minimum number of solar panels on the roof, or simply automating the physical ventilation, there are many opportunities to better understand and implement energy-autonomous solutions for your commercial or residential property in Crete, Greece.
