Generative Design Tools for AEC
Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2019 11:14 pmI was wandering in the internet's wonderland and came across this library. It is open-source. The description below caught by attention.
"When we started Hypar, we needed a small library of building elements that could run in micro-services executing on Linux, and was therefore free of dependencies on host applications like Rhino or Revit. We wanted it to have an API that took the best parts from the various object models and programming APIs available in the AEC space. We wanted it to serialize to formats like JSON and IFC that were useful to architects, engineers, and contractors. And even though the library needed to stand alone, we wanted it to be usable in add-ins to other popular AEC applications like Dynamo, Grasshopper, Revit, and Unity. We looked around and nothing fit the bill, so we started building this."
