ARCHITECTURE

n architecture, simulation opens up completely new dimensions: Buildings can not only be designed visually, but also simulated realistically in terms of energy efficiency, material behavior, indoor climate, and acoustics – even before the first brick is laid. It makes processes visible that were previously only tangible through costly experiments or empirical values. In conjunction with data from the environment, usage, and building materials, a digital planning model with high predictive power is created. Sustainability, life cycle analysis, and user comfort thus become measurable variables.

With AI, simulations are gaining further momentum – systems are learning to optimize designs, anticipate user behavior, and adapt to changing conditions. Simulation and AI are the ideal duo for the architecture of the future.

At DFKI, we combine architectural practice with digital possibilities – for a data-driven, people-centered building culture.
