The sustainable design of buildings, products, and services requires a fast and agile future design experience.

Inspired by buildings and biology

We spend upto 90% of our lives inside buildings. They provide a common platform to playout the complex relationships between people, products and planet.
Biology provides a lens to view complex sustainable systems - we show how to apply this lens to buildings as product platforms to support future agile design.

Futuretools provides research based consultancy on the future design experience of buildings, products and services through Open, Agile and BioDigital processes.

We support open and interoperable building and product design systems.

McGinley & Krijnen (2023), A Framework for Metadisicplinary Building Analysis

Buildings are complex systems of systems that include the facade, core, structure, building services, chairs, desks and even cleaning products. Building systems require the expertise of Architects, Engineers and Designers.

Future Tools have developed a unique method based on 20 years of research to enable you to visualise and edit the evolutionary 'design genes' of the building systems in your portfolio using our Agile Biodigital Futuring Method.

Agile Biodigital Futuring Method

A methodology for an open agile biodigital future design experience.

1. Forecast Futures

Codesign the future scenarios that the building, product or system should support.

2. What's needed?

Based on the co-designed future - work out the future requirements of the building, product or system.

3. Discover Genes

Identify the 'designgenes' in the existing building, product or system portfolio.

4. Future Vectors

Define the future trajectiory of current building(s) products, systems or services. Is correct? if not, how can it be adjusted?
