We’re excited to announce a new collaboration between Cityweft and Graphisoft, focused on bringing accurate, real-world site context directly into Graphisoft’s next-generation design intelligence tool.
Together, we’re working to help architects make smarter, more confident decisions - from early feasibility through to delivery - by ensuring that buildings and topography are not add-ons, but a natural starting point for design.
Grounding design in real context
Graphisoft’s new tool expands the design environment beyond traditional modeling, enabling architects to explore, analyze, and design with real-world conditions embedded directly in their workflow. As part of this collaboration, Cityweft contributes high-quality 3D site data centered on two essential layers of context:
Buildings — offering a clear understanding of surrounding massing, scale, and urban form
Topography — accurately representing terrain to support feasibility studies, early massing, and informed design decisions
By working together, we’re ensuring that architects can immediately see how their projects relate to their surroundings — without manual data preparation or guesswork.

Local precision meets a global design platform
Cityweft brings localized, high-resolution site data into a globally scalable environment developed by Graphisoft. This collaboration combines Graphisoft’s platform expertise with Cityweft’s focus on precise, place-specific context, allowing architects to work with confidence wherever they are designing.
The result is a more intuitive starting point for design, where understanding buildings and terrain is effortless and consistent across projects and locations.
A shared vision for intelligent, creative design
At the heart of this collaboration is a shared belief that design intelligence should enhance creativity, not replace it. By making accurate site context easily accessible, architects gain deeper insight into place and greater confidence in their design choices.
When Graphisoft introduced us to their vision for this new tool, it was immediately clear how closely it aligned with Cityweft’s own mission: making real-world context easy to access and meaningful to use. Together, we’re bringing data, design, and decision-making into closer alignment.
We’re proud to be collaborating with Graphisoft on this important step forward — and excited to see how architects use richer building and topography context to shape better design outcomes.
Because every great design begins with understanding place — and together, Cityweft and Graphisoft are making that understanding part of the design process itself.
