Architecture

Problem:

Architects and designers face widespread reuse of plans, renders, and design elements without credit or compensation, especially in competitions, online portfolios, and AI-generated environments. Tracking who used what and enforcing licensing is time-consuming and often impossible.

How Creation Rights Solves This:

Creation Rights Management (CRM)

• Register: Architects, studios, and 3D modelers register blueprints, renders, BIM models, diagrams, urban plans, and generative design files. The Provenance Graph documents authorship, collaborators (e.g., engineers, consultants), and version history.
• License: Apply Smart Licensing to define terms for reuse (e.g., non-commercial academic use, exclusive development rights, or digital twin licensing in virtual environments).
• Monetize: Use Dynamic Metadata to embed attribution rules, revenue shares (e.g., between lead architect and studio), revocation clauses (e.g., if reused in unsanctioned developments), and opt-outs from AI model training.

Creation Rights Exchange (CRX)

• Verification: Developers, municipalities, or simulation platforms can verify whether they have valid rights to reuse a design, construction method, or visual asset.
• Enforcement: The Content ID Layer detects unauthorized reuse of architectural renders, copied structural designs, or AI-generated buildings based on protected works, across digital platforms and real-world developments.
• Interoperability: CRX integrates with BIM software, CAD platforms, digital twins, and planning systems to validate usage, automate licensing, and ensure traceability.

Example Scenario:

Your firm designs a sustainable pavilion for an expo and publishes detailed 3D models. A property developer uses AI to generate housing units that clone the structure without attribution. CRX detects the derivative design, and the Smart License either enforces attribution, triggers licensing fees, or revokes usage entirely, based on the embedded terms.
