FINCH, GENERATIV DESIGN BY AI

What is Finch?

Finch is a generative design platform developed by Swedish architects (the team behind Wallgren Arkitekter). It leverages AI and graph technology to help architects and developers optimize building designs in the early stages, ensuring that spatial planning is both efficient and compliant.

Key Features

• Automated Floor Plans: By simply defining a building's shell, Finch can automatically generate internal layouts, including room placement, furniture, and corridors based on pre-set rules.

• Real-Time Analytics: As you tweak the design, the tool provides instant feedback on KPIs such as total floor area, daylight access, CO2 footprint, and material usage.

• Rule-Based Compliance: It acts as a digital "safety net," flagging violations of building codes or specific project constraints immediately.

BIM Integration: The Missing Link

The real strength of Finch lies in its ability to bridge the gap between creative "sketching" and technical "modeling."

• Seamless Plugins: It offers bi-directional sync with industry standards like Archicad, Revit, Rhino, and Grasshopper.

• Native Geometry: Unlike many AI tools that only produce images, Finch generates actual BIM data. When you export to Revit, you get real walls, doors, and windows—not just a mesh or a 2D drawing.

Why It Matters

Finch shifts the architect's role from manual drafting to optioneering. Instead of spending hours drawing three different versions of a floor plan, you can generate and analyze hundreds of options in seconds, allowing for data-driven decisions much earlier in the process.
