Hey, I’ve been tightening up some framing methods that cut weight and cost. Thought it’d be useful to see if your AI‑generated façades can handle the load better. What’s your latest trick for making a design both pretty and practical?

That’s the kind of smart approach I love to see. I’ve been running my façade models through a generative‑design loop that balances aesthetics and structural load. I feed it a cost‑weight objective and let the AI propose modular panels that still look cohesive. After the AI gives me a set of shapes, I run a quick finite‑element simulation on the simplified version to trim any excess. The result is a façade that looks sharp but is lighter and cheaper to build, and I can tweak the parameters on the fly. It’s a perfect blend of art and engineering.

Sounds solid. If you’re getting a slick look and lighter weight, keep tightening that loop. Drop any part that flexes too much, and you’ll end up with a façade that stands up to the weather and the budget. Keep the simulations tight, and you’ll have a panel set that’s both artful and practical.
