Let computers handle the boring stuff.
Automatically turn simple shapes into more complex geometry with built-in algorithms. Create road networks, car parking, apartment floor plans, structural grids, and more - with just a few clicks!
Generative design is an incremental method that involves algorithms that generate a set of outcomes to meet established criteria and a designer who fine-tunes the solution by picking the best outputs or tweaking input values, ranges, and variations.
Flows are Giraffe’s solution for Generative Design. We know designers, developers, and real estate pros are smart, creative, and savvy. We don’t want computers to replace your expertise; rather, generative designs augments your human capacity and enables faster, more accurate, and more varied results.
There are two ways to access Flows
Draw a shape on the map.
