Mohamed Adil is the founder of Awatif.co, where he combines deep expertise in structural engineering with a strong background in software development. His experience spans high-rise design, advanced structural assessments, and the development of 3D engineering tools.
Driven by a passion to modernize the built environment, Mohamed created Awatif.co: a web-based parametric platform that reimagines how engineers tackle complex design challenges. His vision is to empower engineers through open-source, community-driven tools that address the housing crisis and promote low-carbon, eco-friendly construction.
In this talk, we’ll share our journey tackling the challenging problem of real-time building design—balancing physics, performance, and usability. This is a story of both successes and lessons learned. We’ll walk through how open-source collaboration allowed us to develop creative solutions and evolve faster as a community.
While our background is in structural engineering, the principles behind our work—parametric modeling, optimization, and fast solvers—can inspire other design fields too. Whether you’re a structural engineer, designer, or just curious about the future of computational tools, we hope this talk resonates with you.
