We all live in spaces. They are important to us!

When designing, we need to be in touch with the various spaces we use. After all, we are not termites -- who live inside built matter of the walls. An architect is quite interested in knowing how the spaces are inter-related, and whether they would work for our users. The walls come as a bye-product of having made these spaces. 

TAD respects such an approach. That is why it is very easy to start designing directly in TAD itself. It is like having a scratch pad handy.

But if you think this is just a bubble diagramming too ... well, it is not. You can  even create the entire model; including the built matter that is present in the building.

What it does NOT do is drafting. For that, you can easily export from TAD and use the regular CAD software that you were using earlier.

The adjoining photo shows the internal stack through the tiny row-house. The west wall has a bit of glass blocks. It not just lights up the space but it drives the air inside the stack. This is a intricate vertical space that goes through the row house to provide ventilation -- all modelled inside TAD

Analyse and get values at all stages. Not just at the final stage of design

TAD helps you iteratively design. Like a potter at work. At any point in time, you can extract objective information such as areas, distances and so on. What is the point of designing a building only to realize at the final stages that some mathematical criteria was not right?

This capability of querying into the design is very powerful. TAD has a built in language called "ARDELA" (ARchitectural DEsign LAnguage) That can be used to create add-ons to provide additional querying functionality. These add-ons probe into your model and provide  you answers. 

We would be releasing a marketplace for these probes -- and also a simple way for you to write your own probes too

The adjoining photo, a small gazebo kind of space was carved out on the terrace on one part of the split-level in the rowhouse. An ARDELA area add-on (probe) did all the calculations. We were then confident that we can get that semi-enclosed space, without it being counted by the municipality (in India, these area calculations are known as FSI calculations)

For far too long, we architects have not asked ourselves how we may do a better job in this world. Instead we just relied on some outside expertise and hand-me-downs. Let us rise and think for ourselves.
