NESTED PHOENIX

Nested Phoenix is a research project aimed at delivering the next generation engine for an integrated life cycle assessment and material stocks and flows analysis of the built environment... Through Nested Phoenix, we aim to provide the new generation of simulation engine that enables bottom-up, high resolution material stocks and flow analyses and life cycle assessments of the built environment... Most existing models are either top-down, or lack the architecture/construction/landscape architecture knowledge to provide detailed models of buildings, infrastructure assets and greenery in cities. We want to combine expert built environment knowledge with advanced object-oriented python programming to provide the research community and the actors of the built environment with a robust, flexible, comprehensive and transparent model to help humanity tackle the climate emergency and operate within the planetary boundaries.
