Geospatial Design Research Platform

2024-present


 
AURA is building at the intersection of GIS, urban twins, architecture, spatial computing, and artificial intelligence.

Our platform radically increases the situational awareness of building projects.

We believe that by inserting design options into a multiscalar contextual twin—which contains anything from local dynamics, supply chains, to the planetary environment—we can we improve the quality of our built environment.

Shippable geospatial software with entirely customizable UI and data management pipelines  
Our tool adds a broad set of capabilities to the architectural and infrastructural design process, and it integrates with expert software.

It is cinematic by default. It affords demographic simulation and agent behavior modeling. It visualizes regulatory, environmental, and economic frameworks. It contains a customizable user interface for data visualizaton. It situates data. It supports networking and API calls. It can be shipped to anyone in the world, and can be opened and accessed with a single click.

For scenario modeling and pitches it can instantly toggle between alternate design solutions and offers user interactions for collaboritve assessment of any number of structural possibilities. It can also operate as a persistent twin throughout the duration of a project’s lifecycle.
Augmentation models of the urban environment 
It is especially useful for site analysis, city code, simulation, and scenario modeling.

The software is compatible with many hardware platforms including desktop, tablets, XR, and mobile. 
 
Exploded visualization of data layers
Our primary use case is large urban projects.

We also have additional pilots in landscape and water management.
