About Archaspace

Mission & Vision

What does Archaspace mean?

  • “To design a new space: physical, conceptual or mathematical”

  • “To respect the architecture of existing spaces: whether interior, exterior, or navigation to and from”

  • “To innovate in ways that expand a given space: whether competitive landscape or the future of tradition”

What do we do?

  1. Advise architects, builders and city planners of tradeoffs in optimal design such that tradeoffs can be made by individuals or disparate collaborative parties in a systematic way.

  2. Measure conceptual and altruistic goals with scientific methods to allow for causal impact on new sets of metrics focused on ESG and Sustainability

  3. Utilize recent technology of AI and Machine learning to create faster, more accurate optimal solutions that cover a broader range of dimensions and reduce unintended consequences

  4. Find or create best sources of data and recommend tools, methods and infrastructure to monitor and predict and optimize desired goals, targets, or outcomes.

  5. Create strategies for growth in products and services that service clients that make use of those techniques.
