After all, as a group, you, Chris, and collaborators have been at it for years. (Anthony Frausto-Robledo) I want to talk briefly about Ladybug Tools and how it came into existence because I think it’s kind of a classic startup story and a not so classic startup story. Let’s get to the interview because there is a lot of important stuff going on at Ladybug Tools.

You may ask, how does a software company give away all their stuff and manage to feed itself? That’s a great question, and we will get to that because that question is central to perhaps the AAD movement in general and, in particular, has importance to what is happening with a great variety of tools in the AEC market in general.

Now that you are familiar with their products, here’s the interesting good news: they are free! These computational design tools, or what we at Architosh often refer to as AAD ( algorithms-aided design) tools, are free to download and install and use on your own. The core software tools by Ladybug Tools include these shown above: Ladybug and Honeybee being the oldest and most popular environmental simulation and analysis tools used in AEC via, traditionally the Grasshopper AAD platform. There are a few other tools and planned new “insects”-all their tools are named after them-but these four are the base. Butterfly is aimed at computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations, while Dragonfly analyzes large-scale climate phenomena like urban heat island effects. Honeybee goes further to model the inside of the structure by supporting daylight simulations, energy models, and envelope heat flow. Ladybug provides an analysis of climate data for its impact on building design. Ladybug Tools started with Ladybug first and we’ll get to that story in a moment in the interview.

Just before the recent holidays, I spoke with both of them about the exciting developments with Ladybug Tools LLC and about the state of computational design in general. Ladybug itself is a set of simulation tools that date back to 2013, and from there, Honeybee came next in 2014, and a series of tools would then continue to follow.Īrchitosh readers may recall Chris Mackey’s name from our 2018 Firm Profile feature on Boston architecture practice Payette, which won the coveted AIA Firm of the Year Award in 2019. But the two have been collaborating on the building environmental simulation and analysis software plugins for several years before that. Ladybug Tools has only been formally a company for a few years now, formed in 2017 by Mostapha Sadeghipour Roudsari and Chris Mackey.
