Architechtures is a web-based generative design platform for residential developments. You model the building volumes and set design criteria, and it generates unit and room layouts in real time, with area tables, cost takeoffs and DXF and IFC export. Indian bye-law parameters may need vendor support, and an architect must check every design.

## What is Architechtures?

Architechtures is a generative design platform for residential buildings, made by Smartscapes Studio in Málaga, Spain. You model the volumes of the buildings and parking in 2D and 3D, set design criteria such as room areas and dimensions, and it generates the layouts in real time. It runs in the browser.

## How do architects and developers use it?

- **Feasibility studies** comparing unit mixes and layouts
- **Area tables** for gross, calculated and net areas
- **DXF and IFC** outputs to continue in CAD or BIM
- **Cost takeoffs** for early budgeting

## What should you check before using it on projects?

1. **Rules.** Confirm FAR, setbacks, ground coverage and egress for your authority.
2. **Areas.** Match its area definitions to the authority's.
3. **Exchange.** Check DXF and IFC files after import. See [IFC explained for Indian architects](/insights/ifc-explained-indian-architects).

Architechtures is a form of [generative design](/insights/generative-design-vs-ai-floor-plans), optimising layouts within constraints you set.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Architechtures export to Revit or AutoCAD?

It exports DXF drawings, which CAD software opens, and IFC models, which BIM tools such as Revit can import. Check the model after exchange.

### Does Architechtures handle Indian bye-laws?

It works with criteria such as room areas and minimum dimensions. For other local rules, Architechtures asks users to contact it. An architect must check every design against the local bye-laws.

### Is there a free trial?

Yes, the Pro plan has a 7-day free trial. A free Viewer plan lets people view shared projects.
