As environmental and spatial factors play and ever more important role in the construction and usage of architectural developments, as well as the importance of client satisfaction and value, in for example: the positioning and type of retail units within a large scale development to maximise the customer experience and volume, whilst providing aesthetic and practical solutions to the numerous design problems encountered.

Here at 4M Group we have been developing a number computational design techniques which involve the creation of artificial intelligence systems, analytical tools, computer controlled programming systems and experimental methodologies, with an aim to reduce the design time by automating many of the simpler tasks and providing the Architectural designer with feedback to their design choices, and finding solutions to multiple objective optimisation and design problems.
