Optimization solutions for architectural systems We create workflows to setup multiple platforms using parametric design and evolutionary algorithms to provide optimized design solutions for any architectural or urban scenario.

Visuals from facade design setup to optimize panelling system for solar insolation using environmental analysis and evolutionary algorithm.

Tool Development We create our in-house tools programmed using Processing, C#, Python, Grasshopper, VBnet, etc. to create highly optimized real-time workflows for design, analysis & fabrication.

Visuals from real-time solar analysis tool being developed by rat[LAB] for a number of projects.

Space syntax analysis of London City: achieved through Processing based VGA algorithms

Visibility Graph Analysis (VGA) for an office space in UK, optimized using an incremental implementation algorithm.

Visibility analysis using agent-based system using Processing, in a real-time generative environment.

Prototyping Lab

We have a prototyping lab in Thessaloniki Office (Greece) with 3D printing and laser cutting facilities, to support our research prototypes.
