The first development, called “sustainability-open” [1], aims on providing open source design, analysis and assessment software source code for (environmental) performance of buildings, structures and infrastructure. The aim of this project is to take away barriers that might exist to design and engineer buildings, structures and infrastructure in a sustainable manner and based on quantitative measures or metrics of (environmental) performance for a variety of design aspects. The second development, called “engineering-open” [2], aims on providing open source software source code for design, calculation, form finding, analysis and optimisation of structures. Both developments aim to take away restrictions that might exist for science and practice caused by the unavailability of open and insightful software source code to inspire further research, development and innovation in the architecture, engineering and construction industry for new software approaches and tools.","digital design; design tools; engineering; sustainability; open source software; parametric software; BIM; finite element method; form finding; optimisation","en","conference paper","Wroclaw University of Technology","","","","","","","","Civil Engineering and Geosciences","Structural Engineering","","","",""
