The R&D team at IPA - Architecture and more explores and develops digital technologies that improve how architectural and engineering projects are designed, analyzed, and managed. Architects, engineers, and programmers work together to connect design expertise with practical digital tools, customized software, and automated workflows.
Our work includes generative design, parametric modeling, automation, data analysis, and the development of specialized digital solutions. These technologies allow multiple design scenarios to be generated and evaluated against specific parameters such as functionality, area efficiency, daylight, views, energy performance, or other project-specific requirements.
Digital tools are not treated as a separate layer of the design process. They are integrated into everyday project workflows. By automating repetitive tasks, structuring project data, and enabling faster comparison of alternatives, the R&D team helps architects and engineers make more informed decisions and manage complex design challenges more efficiently.
This work is closely connected with BIM technologies, while serving a different purpose. BIM provides a structured information model for the project, while R&D develops algorithms, methods, and digital tools that optimize specific processes and expand the ways project data can be used.
By combining research, programming, and practical application, IPA - Architecture and more develops solutions that can be implemented directly within architecture and engineering workflows. The objective is not technology for its own sake, but technology that solves real design problems, reduces repetitive work, and supports more accurate and efficient project delivery.
