Chaos Acquires EvolveLAB and its AI Tools for Architecture, Engineering and Design Industries

Chaos acquired EvolveLAB, a leading developer of AI software created to streamline visualization, generative design, documentation, and interoperability for AEC professionals. With this acquisition, Chaos reinforces design-to-visualization workflows, while expanding to include critical tools for BIM automation, AI-driven ideation and computational design.

Founded in 2015, EvolveLAB was the first to integrate generative AI technology into architectural modeling software, demonstrating the massive potential of mixing imaginative prompts with 3D geometry. Through its flagship software Veras, EvolveLAB connected this capability to leading BIM products like SketchUp, Revit, Vectorworks, and others, before expanding into smart documentation and generative design.

The EvolveLAB toolset is the latest addition to the Chaos ecosystem, the AEC industry’s only end-to-end hub for design and visualization.With this ecosystem users can apply the right technology at each design stage, solving problems quickly and efficiently. The EvolveLAB tools now join powerful technology like Enscape, Envision, Corona, V-Ray, and Vantage, extending Chaos’ growing AI offerings.

“With EvolveLAB now part of Chaos, the company solidifies its position as the go-to platform for architects, designers, and VFX artists looking to seamlessly transform imagination into reality,” said Stephan Sieber, Chief Executive Officer at Chaos. “EvolveLAB’s tools have already been embraced by the community for their thoughtful designs and ability to automate/streamline cumbersome processes. Together, we’ll continue to develop these tools, creating even better ways to ideate, enhance and generate custom designs/assets.”

“Chaos is known throughout this industry as a designer-centric company, which is a must for anyone we work with,” said Bill Allen, CEO of EvolveLAB. “By joining forces, we can fast track our AI developments, while adding an important new component to Chaos’ immersive design hub, which will help designers do even more in one place.”

Even before the acquisition, designers relied on the combination of EvolveLAB and Chaos tools, using Veras and Enscape to accelerate both design and reviews.
