Hypar is a design automation platform that enables users in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries to automate various aspects of conceptual design, estimation, building product configuration, and mechanical and structural engineering. The platform is built on open source and open standards to facilitate rapid design work and metrics-driven decisions.
Key features:
- Automated generation of building designs
- Tools for making data-driven decisions
- Generation of building facades from photos in seconds
- Real-time collaboration for teams
- Publishing and sharing of building systems
- Integration with an extensive library of building components
How it works:
Users interact with Hypar primarily through its web platform. The typical workflow involves creating building systems and designs using Hypar's tools, publishing these systems to the platform, integrating designs into larger projects using Hypar's library and tools, and collaborating with team members in real-time to refine designs and securely share work with stakeholders.
Integrations:
Hypar integrates directly with several popular tools and formats, including:
- Revit for building information modeling (BIM)
- Excel for data management and analysis
- Dynamo for visual programming
- Grasshopper for algorithmic design
- Common formats such as IFC, JSON, gITF, and Rhino
Use of AI:
Hypar leverages generative AI to automate the creation of building designs and configurations, including the ability to generate facades from photos and other automated design tasks.
AI foundation model:
The specific AI foundation models or large language models (LLMs) used by Hypar are not detailed on the website.
How to access:
Hypar is available as a web application, making it accessible from any device with internet access.
Hypar is ideal for AEC professionals looking to streamline their design processes and make data-driven decisions. The platform was founded in 2023 and emphasizes transparency and collaboration in the design process through its use of open source and open standards.
