The project approach was critical and evaluative, with the intent of understanding the best uses these new tools have now, and what role they might play in the AEC industry in the near future. The study findings were shared as an open source resource to further accelerate experimentation in landscape architecture and allied fields. During the project, the team tested hardware and software, set up a demo day for designers and planners, hosted an outreach event for a client and stakeholders, and conducted interviews with industry professionals and product engineers. The project was funded by the Patrick T. Curran Fellowship at SWA and continues the firm\u2019s exploration of new tools for design.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
