Sustainable Code at Scale
The Buildings and Habitats object Model
A collaborative computational development project and collective experiment.
By sharing and co-creating code we can better shape our environment and our future.
We want to 
challenge the way we design and work today.
We want technology to be 
open and accessible for all.
And we think that by working 
together we can solve harder more impactful problems for the world.
An inclusive computational environment
Let's speak the same language
We have transformed the way that we structure our code to better reflect the way humans think.
We have also designed the user interface to explicitly align with the code running behind it.
This results in an environment approachable and familiar for both software developers and designers/architects/engineers.
This also means our code is very honestly and transparently exposed to the user.

More Design, Less Code
A framework for continuous experimentation
Parametrically control your favourite software
Interop just got easier! Using a common interface, the same objects can be dynamically pushed and pulled across multiple software.
Combine your tools
Pick and mix user interfaces to match your workflow. Seamlessly transfer data as if in one single environment.
Curated yet extendable
Benefit from a community created object model.
Don't limit yourself though! If it's not there, extend or make your own.
So, who owns my code?
We are all in it together. We are co-creators and our community co-owns the code. Want to understand more?
