AI-Driven Design Tools Could Revolutionize the Lodging Industry

Big data has taken every industry by storm, but so far the lodging industry has largely been immune. That’s set to change.

Commercial real estate is the tip of the spear right now, but the lodging industry’s turn is right around the corner.

More importantly, the generative approach creates data-rich architecture in a way passive design doesn’t. Because the digital models that emerge are still attached to the data sets that originate them, designers can continue tweaking parameters and see how it affects performance throughout the design process.
