Generative Design

Generative Design

Rafter’s team of software developers, architects and technologists provide a holistic generative design and computational BIM service. Through our expertise with Grasshopper, Dynamo, and Catia’s xGenerative Design, we are able to support our clients with complex design or workflow automation needs. We work with architects, owners, general contractors, and trade contractors, on delivering a digital solution that is functional – from algorithmic geometry to automation.

When Rafter engages a client in generative design and computational BIM, we start the process by taking a detailed understanding of project requirements and the desired outcome. Our firm is entirely software agnostic, so depending on the firm or project’s needs, we tailor our tools to match the project’s requirements. This includes utilizing Grasshopper, Dynamo, or Catia’s xGD. In addition to the computational BIM services we offer, we also provide our clients with leading training allowing them to empower their internal teams to grow and develop a best-in-class capability.
