Outer Labs builds software tools for professionals in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction field that have the potential to radically reshape how buildings are designed, constructed, and occupied. Some questions we regularly consider are: ​How could software automatically layout a building’s structural system?​ ​How could software automatically understand city zoning codes? How could software interpret an architect’s ideas and intentions through a simple drawing?​ or ​How can we help a designer explore a thousand ideas in the time it currently takes to explore one?
