Dynamo is an open-source software platform for computational design and building information modeling (BIM). Through a friendly visual interface, construct logic routines to smooth and automate workflows, find optimum solutions, and sift through design options.
See examples for how Dynamo has been used in practice.
Dynamo helps architects at Shepley Bulfinch plan buildings and iterate through designs by automating the flow of data.
Architects at Flanagan Lawrence used Dynamo to reimagine a performance space built in 1976.
Located in a park in Szczecin, Poland, the Szczecin Summer Theater features a fabric roof that covers a stage and amphitheater. A curved truss serves as the edge beam to a single cable net structure. This net supports a series of inflated, fabric roof panels.
Dynamo let us use computational design and a data-driven process to generate thousands of potential geometries for the garage. The idea is to explore as many options as possible without having to manually model each one
