This page shows a technical demonstration of an adaptive urban masterplan developed in the Smart Spatial Planning Systems group at the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) in May 2018. The concept results from a long-term collaboration beween Bauhaus-University Weimar, ETH Zurich, FCL Singapore, and AIT. The masterplan is implemented as Grasshopper definition and can be controlled with a simplified user interface in Rhino3D. There is a protected download of the Grasshopper definition at the end of this page.
We offer to create an adaptive urban masterplan for your individual projects. For more information, please contact Dr. Koenig.

The parametric masterplan definition allows creating first a custom street network. Afterwards you can define land use areas for parks, residential, office, and hospitality. Based on the land use definition, the building volumes are generated. You can adjust individual building rules like the height setbacks or distance spaces. The final urban 3D model may be analyzed concerning various aspects – e.g. by the DeCodingSpaces network analysis.
First of all, congratulations and thank you for all your work in the plug-in and projects. I think you could combine the speedy of the parametric and generative design and the concept of planning. I like you can control and assign the place of the uses to get the long-awaited mixture. Always I hear critics about the “uncontrol” of the algorithm because you do not decide which use to put in each block and that is a barrier to “orthodox planners” (especially in Latin America where the analogic system is the chosen). I am one of the few students that want to find tools to urbanism and you have achieved excellent results. I would really like to test the definition. Regards!
great work!
Great work!
If possible to get access to the definition that would be excellent!
VeryGreat work!

Great work!Great !
Great work!!!
how can i get the ghfile thanks！i really want to learn，
The download is available now: DeCoding.2018
It seems as though this download file is unavailable? The password worked, and I checked that other password protected downloads work so I was wondering if the files were removed and if they were still available? Many thanks this is some great, great work.
Great work!!
How can I get the grasshopper definition? Thanks very much!
