Project Aurora
A complete, end-to-end design workflow platform from concept to construction!Project Aurora is Graphisoft’s next-generation, cloud-native platform, built to empower professionals with smarter, faster, and more informed design workflows. Whether shaping skylines or planning communities, Project Aurora helps architects make confident decisions from the first sketch.
Early design and prototyping workflows include feasibility analysis and simulations with minimal input to gain immediate insights into performance. Additionally, you can perform compliance checks through a visual feedback and warning system, including the construction of coverage ratios, floor area ratios, legal and zoning regulations, and more. All of this can be accomplished in a real-world context and based on live resources, enabling you to incorporate location-based life cycle analysis and sun studies into your toolkit.
We are currently testing Project Aurora and will make it available following our validation protocols.
