What role does computational design play in renovating existing infrastructure?

Computational design plays a significant role in renovating existing infrastructure by enabling architects and engineers to analyze the structural integrity, space utilization, and environmental impact of buildings and other infrastructure. With computational design tools, designers can create 3D models of existing buildings, perform simulations, and test different renovation scenarios to optimize the use of space, improve the building's energy efficiency, and ensure structural stability.

Additionally, computational design can help to identify potential structural weaknesses and determine the most cost-effective ways to address them, reducing the amount of time and resources needed for renovation. Overall, computational design helps to streamline the renovation process, improve the quality of the final product, and ensure that existing infrastructure can continue to serve its intended purpose for years to come.
