AI design to fabrication of smart building envelopes

Description

"Building envelopes, or facades, are one of the keys to modern building. They are responsible for 70% of its energy efficiency as the barrier between interior/ exterior and for the architectural appeal of the building.
They are also one of the most complex and underserved areas of construction, comprising of manual labor, generic shelf products and as a result- repetitive cubes with no added value.
It can currently take up to a year of panning process to design good facades and advanced fabrication options are very limited."

What makes it different

1. Focus on Automated Facade Design
Specialization: Foldstruct is focused specifically on the design and automation of facades, using AI. This specialization can give both contractors and real estate developers an edge over traditional planning methods.

2. Integration with Robotics
Unique Use of Robotics: Foldstruct stands out by incorporating robotics not just in design but also in the construction or assembly of facades, potentially enabling a smoother transition from digital design to physical implementation.

3. Real-Time Simulation and Adjustments
Adaptive Design Capabilities: If Foldstruct enables real-time simulation of environmental factors like wind loads, sun exposure, and temperature changes, it could offer a dynamic approach to facade design. The AI could continuously optimize the structure based on live data.
