WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Architects spend significant time in early design phases exploring multiple floor plan variations manually, testing against design constraints and spatial relationships. This process is time-consuming and limits the number of design options that can be realistically explored within project schedules.

The Solution

Termite Intelligence generates dozens of optimized floor plan variations automatically using swarm intelligence algorithms that interpret programmatic constraints and spatial relationships. Users sync CAD boundaries and preferences, explore AI-generated layouts, and refine them interactively while maintaining parametric control.
