The path behind MIRALTO.

Charles Vidal, architect specialised in BIM and AI, founder of MIRALTOCharles Vidal, Founder

Miralto was founded by Charles Vidal, an architect working inside large practices on complex, large-scale projects, currently at Bjarke Ingels Group.

With over 10 years of experience in BIM and computational design, across cultural, civic and transport projects he has led computational design, model coordination and digital delivery, and takes a close interest in AI applied to design. Miralto exists to give that production time back to design, with AI.

Experience

Hands-on experience,
behind the Lab.

BIM, computational design, AI: over 10 years on complex, large-scale projects. The Lab draws on that experience to choose and test the tools, then share methods anyone can reuse.

The name

Mir·alto. Seeing from above.

Miralto is mirar, to look, and alto, high. Looking from above, to see the project as a whole.

That is what the logo draws: the slabs of a building, seen from the top one. Our eye is level with it, so it reads as a single line; below, every floor unfolds at a glance.

It is also the promise of BIM, and now of AI: seeing the whole building in 3D, understanding, checking and deciding long before reaching the site. Rising above, to move forward with precision.
