Abstract
There is increasing demand for building performance to be more predictable beyond programmatic and aesthetic considerations. Bringing together multidisciplinary analytical modelling and simultaneously testing for several, often conflicting parameters, allows us to feed the consideration of performative aspects into the design process from the outset and make informed design choices based on integrated engineering analytics. We call this digital rapid prototyping.
