Hektar

Hektar is designed to revolutionize early-stage volume studies in urban planning by leveraging the power of generative design. It assists planners in navigating the complexities of city planning by generating proposals that merge computational intelligence with human creativity.

Understanding the importance of context, Hektar incorporates a comprehensive toolset that provides geometrical and geographical insights. This includes identifying crucial planning aspects such as site access points, non-buildable zones, and user-defined streets. Users can adjust numerical inputs like building depth, greenery, and parking to explore different scenarios or allow the algorithm to suggest optimal configurations.

The core of Hektar is its use of evolutionary algorithms and artificial generative intelligence, which transform initial inputs into detailed design proposals. This process saves all metadata for evaluation, ensuring that planners can refine their projects with precision. Hektar acts as an 'autopilot,' handling routine and complex tasks, allowing planners to focus on creative design.

Hektar also uncovers unexpected design possibilities by processing complex data such as light and sun exposure from the outset. This capability ensures a broad range of proposals, including those that might be overlooked by human planners. Users can filter case studies by various parameters to find the most relevant scenarios.

For collaboration, Hektar offers built-in sharing features, enabling users to invite others to view projects interactively. This includes creating comparative views of designs and sharing them with teams for feedback, streamlining the planning process.

With global access to map data through Mapbox and Open Street Map, Hektar allows users to visualize urban layers and key parameters in detail. It supports exporting proposals in formats like .obj, .3dm, and .csv, facilitating further analysis and presentation.

Hektar is adaptable to any planning project, whether it involves dense urban master plans or suburban housing developments. Users can specify project typologies and their characteristics, ensuring tailored solutions for diverse planning needs.
